I updated to the last version of Petsc then I used again
PETSC_DIR=`pwd`; export PETSC_DIR
then in the petsc directory
./configure --with-cc='win32fe cl' --with-fc=0
--download-f2cblas-lapack --with-mpi-dir=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\
\(x86\)/MPICH2
Now I have an error,
"Nonexistent directory /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/MPICH2"
The directory anyway is there and cygwin could easily access it
Also trying with mpi-include/lib gives the same error.
What can I do?
