[petsc-users] Using PETSc from MATLAB code, experimental

[Barry Smith]

     Lisandro is exactly right. The key is building the .dll. If you are interested in pursing this we are eager to help but are not Windows experts in any way.

     1) are you using the GNU compiler or Microsoft?
     2) if you are using GNU you can try building with the same options as indicated in the docs. including the --with-shared-libraries flag. what happens?
          What is generated? 

   Let us know and we'll go from there,
