[petsc-users] win32fe icl won't work

[Balay, Satish]

Alternative is to update PATH so that link.exe from compiler is before the one from cygwin.

I have it at '/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/BIN/amd64/link.exe' so would do:

export PATH='/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/BIN/amd64':$PATH

And verify with:

balay at ps4 ~
$ which link.exe
/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/BIN/amd64/link.exe

balay at ps4 ~
$
