   Are you planning to use the resulting static libraries from Microsoft Developers studio?  If so you need to follow the instructions at http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/installation.html#windows

   It is also possible to build PETSc using the cygwin gnu gcc and gfortran but we don’t generally recommend it.

   Unfortunately we don’t have a way to compile PETSc with mingw
