This seems like a fundamental misunderstanding.

There are two ways to run on a Windows machine:

  1) You can use Windows compilers and generate .lib libraries. This is
what you are currently doing.

  2) You can use WSL2 or MSYS, using UNIX compilers, generating .a archives
and .so shared libraries.

When you built Metis, you used strategy 2) since we see

Executing: win32fe cl  -o
/cygdrive/c/Users/XiongZiming/AppData/Local/Temp/petsc-r1s2t4wp/config.libraries/conftest.exe
   -g
/cygdrive/c/Users/XiongZiming/AppData/Local/Temp/petsc-r1s2t4wp/config.libraries/conftest.o
 -L/cygdrive/f/metis-5.1.0/build -L/cygdrive/f/metis-5.1.0/build -lmetis
Ws2_32.lib
stdout: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libmetis.lib'
Possible ERROR while running linker: exit code 2
stdout:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libmetis.lib'
Linker output before filtering:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libmetis.lib'
Linker output after filtering:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libmetis.lib'

Personally, I find strategy 2) easier to deal with, especially for external
libraries.

  Thanks,
