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

[Thuc Bui]

Hi Barry & Satish,

I really appreciate you are getting back to me. Because libiomp5md.lib is
not in the mkl/lib directory, I just copy it to the same directory and per
your suggestion use the followings

./configure --with-cc='win32fe cl' --with-cxx='win32fe cl' --with-fc=0
--with-openmp --with-debugging=0 --with-mpi=0
--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
libiomp5md.lib"

Unfortunately, I got the same error message as below. I am attaching
configure log, and hopefully you can see what I am doing icorrectly.

Many thanks,
Thuc

You set a value for --with-blaslapack-lib=<lib>, but
['-L/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib',
'mkl_intel_lp64.lib', 'mkl_core.lib', 'mkl_intel_thread.lib',
'libiomp5md.lib'] cannot be used

Checking for MS compilers - [MKL2018+] it gives:

mkl_intel_lp64.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib mkl_core.lib libiomp5md.lib

i.e no -Wl,--start-group [MS compiler most likely does not use this option]

So you can try:

--with-blaslapack-lib="-L/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/
mkl/lib/ mkl_intel_lp64.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib mkl_core.lib
libiomp5md.lib"
