Dear Mikhail, Satish helped me and we managed to get petsc4py working with static builds and Cygwin's Open MPI. Please git pull and try again. On 11 June 2015 at 14:13, Mikhail Khodak <[email protected]> wrote:
I have attached the log files. I tried using Open MPI before but received the same result. I will try a static build later and otherwise will get a VM. Thanks for looking at this, Mikhail

Also - should mention:
- cygwin has OpenMPI pacakged - so you could also try that. - most of my builds are static [so never tried dll builds]

If you get errors when running basic petsc examples - send us the relavant petsc logs [configure.log, make.log, test.log etc..]
Also - note that mpich is not supported on cygwin/windows [it generally works for us - when we try the --download-mpich build].
Unless you really need a cywin build/use of petsc4py - it might be easier to install a linux VM - and use PETSc/petsc4py on it.

I added these lines to the petsc4py test files (specifically test_comm.py) but the error remains the same. However, I have done the standard 'which mpiexec', 'which mpicc', 'which mpirun' and they are all in the same folder. In fact it is the only MPI installed. The reason I thought it might be a PETSc build problem is because one of the PETSc 'make test' tests (ex5f) fails with the same error, even though the 'make streams' test works fine with MPI processes. Thanks, Mikhail

Thank you for your help - the install seems to work, apart from routines requiring MPI, which fail due to the "Attempting to use an MPI routine before initializing MPI" error. This seems to be an error in the PETSc build itself.
The MPI routines will not work until after
import petsc4py, sys petsc4py.init(sys.argv) from petsc4py import PETSc
If they fail after this, it is usually a mismatch between the mpiexec being used and the MPI libraries being linked.
Thanks,
Matt
Thanks again,

Hello, I am trying to build petsc4py-3.5.1 using Cygwin on 64-bit Windows 7. I have built PETSc 3.5.4 with shared and dynamic libraries using mpich2-1.2.1 and successfully ran the installation tests. I am using Python 2.7 and NumPy 1.9.2 and have installed mpi4py. However, when I attempt to install petsc4py (both with pip and distutils) I get a mpicc compiler error due to undefined references/symbols. I have attached the output of running
pip install petsc petsc4py --allow-external petsc --allow-external petsc4py
I've never ever built or test petsc4py under Cygwin. The errors you see are expected. Perhaps you can manually workaround the issues following the following steps:
1) Download the petsc4py tarball and unpack it. 2) Open the file "src/libpetsc4py/libpetsc4py.h", add remove all occurences of DL_IMPORT, i.e, replace DL_IMPORT(XYZ) for just XYZ 3) Use pip again:
pip install petsc pip install .
The last line assumes your current working directory is the one having petsc4py's setup.py
Finally, I do not guarantee this will work. I'm just guessing, petsc4py never explicitly supported Windows and/or Cygwin.
