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

[Satish Balay]

Likely the libraries are in /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/intel64 and not /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib

Please verify:

ls /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/intel64

Then you would need:

--with-blas-lapack-lib="-L/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~2/INTELS~1/COMPIL~1.279/windows/mkl/lib/intel64 mkl_intel_lp64.lib mkl_core.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib libiomp5md.lib"
