build issues with DMShellSetCreateSubDM when building from master

[Steven Vandekerckhove]

I'm trying to build from master, but the build keeps failing.

Could anyone tell me how to resolve this?

Many thanks!

Are you using petsc/master branch ? Otherwise, if you are using PETSc's latest release tarball (or petsc/maint branch), you have to switch to petsc4py/maint branch, i.e. do git checkout maint.

Using PETSc master branch idd solved the problem.

thanks!
