[petsc-users] Installation With MSYS2 and MinGW Compilers

Tue Dec 6 12:50:54 CST 2022

Hi Pierre,

Thank you again for prompt response.

1) MinGW does not handle %td and %zu, so a default build triggers tons of warnings. Rajesh, you can add CFLAGS="-Wno-format-extra-args -Wno-stringop-overflow -Wformat=0" CXXFLAGS="-Wno-format-extra-args -Wno-stringop-overflow -Wformat=0" to have much fewer gibberish printed on screen

           Where should I add these FLAGS? In make file or somewhere else.

I also followed steps suggested by Sathish. I got errors.

Sing***@WE***** MINGW64 ~/petsc-3.18.2/src/snes/tutorials
$ mpiexe -n 2 ex5f90.exe
bash: mpiexe: command not found

Then I tried command

mpif90.exe -n 2 ./ex5f90.exe

I received many errors.

Your helps for fixing these issue would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rajesh

The build log looks fine. Its not clear why these warnings [and
errors] are coming up in make check [while there are no such warnings
in the build].

2) I'm able to reproduce the "Circular [...] dependency dropped." warnings after doing two successive make, but I know too little about Fortran (or Sowing?) to understand what could trigger this.
But I agree with Satish, the build looks good otherwise and should work.
I made the necessary changes to Sowing, I hope I'll be able to finish the MR (https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/5903/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.com%2Fpetsc%2Fpetsc%2F-%2Fmerge_requests%2F5903%2F&data=05%7C01%7Crajesh.singh%40pnnl.gov%7Cf969bc9a874347cccf5408dad7601bee%7Cd6faa5f90ae240338c0130048a38deeb%7C0%7C0%7C638059108381044976%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2Fk%2BlOijLXiL8Lf0O82B2naOW8cDEIFvWwjNB2SG%2BfpE%3D&reserved=0>) by the end of the day so you can switch back to using the repository, if need be.

Thanks,

Since you are using PETSc fromfortran - Can you try compiling/running
a test manually and see if that works.

cd src/snes/tutorials
make ex5f90
./ex5f90
mpiexec -n 2 ./ex5f90

Hi Satish,

Thank you so much for offering help for installing PETSc in MSYS2 and mingw64. Attached are configure.log and make.log files. I am newb in this. Please let me know if you need further information. I will be glad to provide.

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.

But As Pierre mentioned - MSYS2 should also work.

Hi Pierre,

Thank you so much for prompt response. I will run FORTRAN based code with PETSc. Therefore I guess I will need Fortran binding.

OK, so, two things:
1) as said earlier, Sowing is broken with MinGW, but I'm sadly one of
the few PETSc people using this environment, so I'm one of the few who
can fix it, but I can't tell you when I'll be able to deliver
2) if you stick to an official tarball, the Fortran bindings should be shipped in. While I work on 1), could you stick to, e.g., 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%7Ccf1975f0691a4a6f77a808dad734eec8%7Cd6faa5f90ae240338c0130048a38deeb%7C0%7C0%7C638058922771517675%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3gU1u2WRKKvNlBMbq%2FL6RZwvp%2FcRY%2BcLx5i9gJbp9nI%3D&reserved=0<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%7Ccf1975f0691a4a6f77a808dad734eec8%7Cd6faa5f90ae240338c0130048a38deeb%7C0%7C0%7C638058922771517675%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3gU<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%7Ccf1975f0691a4a6f77a808dad734eec8%7Cd6faa5f90ae240338c0130048a38deeb%7C0%7C0%7C638058922771517675%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3gU1u2WRKKvNlBMbq%2FL6RZwvp%2FcRY%2BcLx5i9gJbp9nI%3D&reserved=0%3chttps://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%7Ccf1975f0691a4a6f77a808dad734eec8%7Cd6faa5f90ae240338c0130048a38deeb%7C0%7C0%7C638058922771517675%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3gU>

Check twice before you click! This email originated from outside PNNL.

Hello Rajesh,
Do you need Fortran bindings?
Otherwise, ./configure --with-fortran-bindings=0 should do the trick.
Sowing compilation is broken with MinGW compiler.
If you need Fortran bindings, we could try to fix it.

Thanks,
Pierre
