Compiling PETSc with Visual Studio 2008

[Farshid Mossaiby]

Dear Satish,

You were absolutely right. After caching a password
using MPICH tool, "make test" works fine.

Now, there are some other issues. I am mostly
interested in ksp examples. In
$PETSC_DIR/src/ksp/ksp/test:

1. When I "make ex2" it gives me an error:

make: *** No rule to make target `ex2.o', needed by
`ex2'.  Stop.

2. "make ex1" works ok, but:

$ mpiexec -np 2 ./ex1 -pc_type jacobi
-ksp_monitor_short -ksp_gmres_cgs_refin
ement_type refine_always

Any hint on this one?

Thanks in advance,
