Unable to build on Windows due to MPI

installation
1

Hi,

I’m trying to build DolfinX on Windows10 but without luck. The CMake script bails out with “Could NOT find MPI: Found unsuitable version “2.0”, but required is at least “3”.”
I have installed the latest MSMPI and OpenMPI doesn’t seem to be supported.
How can I get around this ?
Thank you for any help.

Dolfinx does not support native builds on Windows (mainly due to petsc, but we also do not test against Windows). We recommend using WSL or docker.

ah, too bad. but thank you for your answer

is any of the related packages (fenics, dolfin) supported to build for windows ?

As I said, we support WSL, which is available on any modern Windows system, as well as docker.
