[Trilinos-Users] [EXTERNAL] trilinos in MSVC

Fri May 17 01:10:40 MDT 2013

Dear Chetan,

Thank you for your response.
My question is how to have an install directory which contains
required libs and includes. In linux it was automatically built.

Also,
I create a test solution with main.cpp, added all possible include/lib
directories and linked all the libraries (blas.lib, lapack.lib,
belos.lib, epetra.lib, etc). It seems that the error comes from
clapack. please see the attached txt.

Yours,
Mohammad
