[petsc-users] petsc with hypre on Windows

Hi all,

I actually tried compiling hypre 2.6b using windows. I can't remember 
which version I'm using (Vs2005, 2008) but I followed the instructions 
carefully and it worked. Compiling, linking in IDE are also ok. However, 
only the C code work. The fortran code just can't work, even after much 
help from the developers.

Only the 2.6b version works with windows. However, I have not tried 
using both hypre and PETSc in windows.

Thank you very much and have a nice day!

Yours sincerely,

Wee-Beng Tay
