Windows automatically renamed the "Makefile" you provided into "Makefile.txt", I did not notice that and just copy the "Makefile.txt" into the folder "Lib", and everything went wrong... Now I've successfully built "libmetis.lib"! Thanks very much! Sorry my mistake too…

However, I have the same problem as matt: There is a link error: fatak error LNK1181: cannot open input file '../libmetis.a' make: *** [../libmetis.a] Error 1181 And I try to delete the space between "-out:$@" and "$(OBJS)" in line 25 of Makefile.txt, it still does not work. Is it because of my misunderstandings on what you have said? Could you please tell me the details of how to modify the makefile files in Windows for Visual Studio users please?

Just check if you can run cl from the command line and if the file is there. It is a good idea first to try to run the command manually.

The message says that the librarian considers ../libmetis.a as an input file. This happens if there is a space between -out: and the file name. MS lib does not like it.
