[petsc-dev] Unable to find zlib library

[Chen Shapira]

Thanks Satish,
I've tried :
./config/configure.py --with-cc='win32fe cl' --with-fc='win32fe ifort'
--with-cxx='win32fe cl' --with-mpi-dir="/cygdrive/C/Program Files
(x86)/MPICH2" --download-f-blas-lapack=1 --with-clanguage=c
--with-petsc-arch=arch-mswin-c-debug
--CFLAGS=-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE --with-debugging=0
--ignore-cygwin-link --with-valgrind=0 --with-c2html=0
--download-sowing=1 --with-hdf5=1
--with-hdf5-include=/cygdrive/c/libraries/hdf5/include
--with-hdf5-lib=\[/cygdrive/c/libraries/hdf5/libs/hdf5dll.lib,/cygdrive/c/libraries/hdf5/libs/hdf5_fortrandll.lib,/cygdrive/c/libraries/hdf5/libs/szip.lib,/cygdrive/c/libraries/hdf5/libs/zlib.lib\]
--LIBS=/cygdrive/c/libraries/hdf5/libs/zlib.lib

and also with : --LIBS='/cygdrive/c/libraries/hdf5/libs/zlib.lib'

and I got a different error :
Error running make; make install on Sowing (install manually): Could
not execute "cd /home/petsc-dev/externalpackages/sowing-1.1.16d &&
make &&  make install && make clean":
(cd src/sys && make )

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/petsc-dev/externalpackages/sowing-1.1.16d/src/sys'

Thanks again
Chen
