[petsc-users] Is it possible to build PETSc project in Visual Studio?

[Danyang Su]

Hi All,

I am currently developing codes under Windows utilizing intel visual 
fortran + visual studio. When I need to build the project, I switch to 
CYGWIN, compile the project with makefile and it works fine.

Recently, I found an Opensource project pflotran that also uses Petsc 
(https://bitbucket.org/pflotran/pflotran-dev/wiki/Home) and it is said 
the project can be build under windows with visual studio 
(https://bitbucket.org/pflotran/pflotran-dev/wiki/Installation/Windows). 
I tried a simple example following the instructions of pflotran to see 
if it works, unfortunately, it failed in linking, showing lots of 
unresolved external symbol.

The following directories have been included in the project property - 
General:
C:\cygwin\packages\petsc-3.3-p4;C:\cygwin\packages\petsc-3.3-p4\include;C:\cygwin\packages\petsc-3.3-p4\arch-mswin-c-debug\include;C:\Program 
Files\MPICH2\include

And the following directories have been included in the project property 
- Linker:
C:\cygwin\packages\petsc-3.4.2\arch-mswin-c-debug\lib;C:\Program 
Files\MPICH2\lib;
libpetsc.lib fmpich2.lib fmpich2g.lib mpi.lib

I just want to make a confirmation if Petsc project can be built under 
visual studio. And if the answer is yes, how to configure the project.

Thanks and regards,

Danyang
