[petsc-users] How do I supply the compiler PIC flag via CFLAGS, CXXXFLAGS, and FCFLAGS

[Inge Gutheil]

Dear PETSc list,
when I try to install the petsc-3.11.2 library as a static library - for
some reasons I do not want the dynamic library -
I suddenly get the error

Cannot determine compiler PIC flags if shared libraries is turned off
Either run using --with-shared-libraries or --with-pic=0 and supply the
compiler PIC flag via CFLAGS, CXXXFLAGS, and FCFLAGS

Attached find the configure.log
I added --with-pic=0 as can seen from configure.log but I do not know
where I can find how to set the compiler PIC flag via CFLAGS, CXXXFLAGS,
and FCFLAGS, at least -fPIC seems to be not sufficient, so what can I do?

Wit 3.11.1 I did not have that problem.

Regards
Inge
