problem in compiling petsc for visual c++ 2005

[Farshid Mossaiby]

Hi,

I have built Petsc a lot of times with VC++ 2008 Express edition and Cygwin. I used to run C:\Cygwin\Cygwin.bat, and had no problem.

I just looked into the batch file, and it contains:

----------------------------
@echo off

C:
chdir C:\Cygwin\bin

bash --login -i
----------------------------

I am not sure what '-i' in bash parameters mean, but it may help you. Anyway, I still recommend you running the batch file itself.

Best regards,
Farshid Mossaiby
