include ${PETSC_DIR}/conf/variables
include ${PETSC_DIR}/conf/rules

main: main.o chkopts
-${CLINKER} -o main main.o ${PETSC_KSP_LIB}
${RM} main.o

It's missing the obvious stuff in the beginning ($CC, $PREFIX, $LIBDIR, etc) so I am presuming they are all in the includes. Check them.

Pretend it's translated; run cmake on it and post the error.

PETSc : The file 'CMakeLists.txt' is generated with the command :

$ python setup.py build

P.S. Have you read the other thread about PETSc (and fluidity) ?

→ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ies-440794/#12

it can compiled sucessfully with the following command. could you please help me to translate it into a cmake file. so i can further develop the code in kdevelop4.4.
