[petsc-users] Failed to build Petsc statically linked to MKL for Windows

[Thuc Bui]

Dear Petsc Users,

 

I have successfully built Petsc v3.13.5 for Windows 10 VS2015 without
Fortran compiler and without MPI. These successful  builds are either linked
statically with Blas-Lapack or dynamically with Intel MKL. However, when
linking dynamically to MKL, I would have to include 4 more Intel DLLs for
building applications. I would like to have Petsc linking statically to MKL
to avoid having these extra DLLs, but have not been successful. Here is how
I run configure for static link

 

./configure --with-cc='win32fe cl' --with-cxx='win32fe cl' --with-fc=0
--with-openmp --with-debugging=0 --with-mpi=0
--with-blas-lapack-lib="-Wl,--start-group
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/mkl_intel_lp64.li
b /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/mkl_core.lib
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/mkl_intel_thread.
lib -Wl,--end-group"

 

I got this configuration error,

 

============================================================================
=== TESTING: checkLib from
config.packages.BlasLapack(config/BuildSystem/config/pack*******************
************************************************************

         UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS    (see configure.log for
details):

You set a value for --with-blaslapack-lib=<lib>, but ['-Wl,--start-group',
'/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/mkl_intel_lp64.l
ib',
'/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/mkl_core.lib',
'/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/mkl_intel_thread
.lib', '-Wl,--end-group'] cannot be used

****************************************************************************
***

 

Can someone point me to a proper syntax to link to MKL statically? Attached
is the configure.log if you need it.

 

I have also tried unsuccessfuly, 

--with-blas-lapack-lib="/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/m
kl/lib/mkl_intel_lp64.lib
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/mkl_core.lib
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/mkl_intel_thread.
lib"

or

--with-blas-lapack-lib="-L/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows
/mkl/lib -lmkl_intel_lp64.lib -lmkl_core.lib -lmkl_intel_thread.lib", 

or 

--with-blas-lapack-lib="-L/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows
/mkl/lib mkl_intel_lp64.lib mkl_core.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib"

and all gave the similar error message.

 

Many thanks in advance for your help,
