[petsc-dev] install petsc on windows 10 with mpi

[Richard Mills]

Hi Mohammad,

Have you considered not using Cygwin and instead using the beta "Windows
Subsystem for Linux" that provides a layer for running ELF binaries and
using Ubuntu packages?  I've not tried building PETSc with it yet, but I've
been impressed at how well it works when I have tried other things.  Quick
Google search comes up with this page that briefly talks about it and how
to enable it:

Best regards,
Richard
