[petsc-users] Doubt about distribution of PETSc in a CMake project

[Satish Balay]

Another alternative: you can install PETSc with:

--with-shared-libraries=0

[but some of the dependent libraries might still be shared - if so - you'll need to figure out static build for them. If they are installed with --download-pkg option of configure - likely it will be static]
