[petsc-dev] Extending Petsc

[Barry Smith]

   You need to put a file in config/PETSc/packages   with the name package.py (name of your package) you can, for example, copy superlu.py and edit it to match your package. This is the file that will make sure that PETSC_HAVE_PACKAGE is defined.

The thing is that when I'm compiling the variable PETSC_HAVE_PACKAGE doesn't show up, I guess that means the variable is 0 or something else happens, and my code is not going to be compile. So if you could give some ideas of why Petsc doesn't compile my code.
