If you look in any makefile, the LIBBASE gives you the library in which the code is put. The contrib library is code that we accept from outside. Matt On 9/26/07, Keita Teranishi <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi PETSc team,

I would like to know the contents of each library archive (.a file) of PETSc library.

It looks some of them are self-explanatory such as libpetscmat.a, but I am wondering other archives such as

libpetsccontrib.a. Could you explain what each of them contains?

Thanks,
