[petsc-users] Error in configuring PETSc with Cygwin

[Satish Balay]

Perhaps the compilers are installed without english - so we can't read the error messages.

We test with:

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.32.31329 for x64

I guess that's VS2019 vs VS2022?

You can try using --with-cxx=0 and see if that works.

Something a bit suspectable is that I open Cygwin with dos. (actually the Intel Compiler 19.1 Update 3 Intel 64 Visual Studio 2019, x86 environment for the test of ifort ia-32 ,in particularlly)
