[petsc-users] Could not find make when building PETSc in Windows 7

[Qin Lu]

Satish,

I ran the configure in mintty's terminal.
 
"echo $PATH" showed PATH included /usr/bin. "which make" showed "/usr/bin/make". I tried petsc 3.4.3 with either --with-make or --download-make option and configure got the same error.
 
The configure.log is attached.
 
Is there simple anyway to test if cygwin has been set up properly?
 
Thanks,
Qin

Also what do you have for:

echo $PATH
which make

Retry wiht petsc-3.4.3 - and if you still have issues - send us configure.log

I suppose it should use C:\cygwin64\bin\make.exe, which is already in path, but I still added  --with-make=/cvgdrive/cygwin64/bin in configure's option and run configure again, yet it gave the same error.
