[petsc-dev] [petsc-maint #49590] problem building petsc-dev

[Barry Smith]

  We currently have

self.useShared = (self.argDB['with-dynamic'] or self.argDB['with-shared']) and not self.setCompilers.staticLibraries

in config/PETSc/utilities/sharedLibraries.py which allows dynamic libraries without shared libraries! 

I am fixing this and improving the help messages etc right now.
