there is no confusion on my side.

And I've responded saying : that can't be true [because icl would not
create libhypre.a - but hypre.lib]. Then you play arround 'with
renaming files' insteading of following up on what I say.

In a normal conversation - one would have responded by either
asserting their statemet by providing proof [by including the build
logs for hypre build] - or followed suggested recourse.

And I've repatedly pointed out hypre installation instructions [use
native-cmake for windows]. And you repatedly try something else and
expect it to work [cygwin/configure with CC=icl]

In a normal conversation - one would try the suggestions and repsond
if it worked or not [and elaborate on why the suggestion was not
appropriate - or if/why it didn't work]
