-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ok until version 3.19-1 (but now this soft is to old to get form the web). FIle version 30/11/2011 F. Hecht.

WARNING NOW the window version is compiled under MINGW (from version 3.11 14/01/2011 FH)



So the old dll are incompatible with the new version. It is the fortran compiler under cygwin which is too old (not f90 under cygwin). ----------------------------------------------------------The tools to be installed are:

1) Download and install MINGW32

http://sunet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20101030/mingw-get-inst-20101030.exe

launch: mingw-get-inst-20101030.exe

Answer question in following windows : 1) do next 2) do next 3) use preload case 4) accept 5 ) select location of mingw on disk. 6) mingw menu name 7) select components all except ada 8) do install

2) Download and install wget for --enable-download in configurehttp://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/mingwPORT/Current%20Releases/wget-1.9.1-mingwPORT.tar.bz2under mingw32 shell do: cd /c/users/loginname/download/tar jxvf wget-1.9.1-mingwPORT.tar.bz2cp extract and move wget.exe in /usr/bin

3) The glut of win32 from

wget http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~gogo/courses/mingw/winglut.zipor wget http://files.transmissionzero.co.uk/software/development/GLUT/freeglut-MinGW.zip

The location of include file must be



c:\mingw\include\GL\glut.hc:\mingw\include\GL\gl.hc:\mingw\include|GL/glu.h

add the glut32.dll or freeglut.dll in you directory in the 2 directories:

$ find /c/MinGW -name glut/c/MinGW/bin/glut32.dll/c/MinGW/lib/glut32.dll 4) the good blas now is:

http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/tacc-projects/gotoblas2/downloads/

Try to compile

5) install MPI for // version HPC Pack 2008 SDKhttp://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=10505HPC Pack 2008 R2 Service Pack 2http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26646
