[petsc-users] Installation With MSYS2 and MinGW Compilers

[Satish Balay]

Can you send corresponding configure.log and make.log? [should be in PETSC_DIR/PETSC_ARCH/lib/petsc/conf

Also what is your requirement wrt using PETSc on windows?
- need to link with other MS compiler libraries?
- Can you use WSL?

Our primary instructions for windows usage is with MS/Intel compilers
[with cygwin tools] not MSYS2. 

https://petsc.org/release/install/windows/

But As Pierre mentioned - MSYS2 should also work.

While I work on 1), could you stick to, e.g., https://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-3.18.2.tar.gz<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fftp.mcs.anl.gov%2Fpub%2Fpetsc%2Frelease-snapshots%2Fpetsc-3.18.2.tar.gz&data=05%7C01%7Crajesh.singh%40pnnl.gov%7C6ca621eb7f004c35be5f08dad705d997%7Cd6faa5f90ae240338c0130048a38deeb%7C0%7C0%7C638058718442399693%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=grwrIpVDLyzREtA6zRERjN%2FkqaCxkWY51Ade5WtSbTU%3D&reserved=0>?
