Unfortunately, I need also a Windows version and I will leave the cygwin
option as the last resort.
For the moment I managed to successfully build petsc with --with-parmetis=1
--download-parmetis=1. When using --download-hypre=1 configure fails
complaining about missing mpi.h, which is surprising.
I was wondering what you meant with "These packages don't build with MS
compilers": dependence on some core unix functionality or the lack of the
appropriate project/build script.
