[petsc-users] petsc with hypre on Windows

[Matthew Knepley]

This is what we mean when we say that Hypre does not support Windows. It
really doesn't. You
can try mailing their list, but I do not anticipate a response other than
"We do not support Windows".
The build system is completely broken for this platform, as you have
experienced. So, my conclusion
would be to

  a) switch packages to something that does support Windows

or

  b) switch platforms to something that Hypre supports

  Thanks,

     Matt
