2.2.1 Pre-requisitions for Nero2d (Cygwin)

You will need to install Cygwin on your Windows machine first. We have tested with Windows XP and Cygwin v. 2.573.2.2 but we don't expect any problems on other sytems. In addition to the base installation, you will need to select the following packages:

Under Devel

• gcc-g++: C++ compiler
• gcc-g77: Fortran compiler
• make: The GNU version of the `make' utility
• libtool: A shared library generation tool

Under Math

• lapack: Comprehensive FORTRAN library for linear algebra operations.
• libfftw3-devel: Discrete Fourier transform library (development)

Some of these packages will automatically trigger the installation of their dependencies. This is a good thing. The installation is then exactly performed in the same manner as described in section Installation of Nero2d.

You can still use the configure options as explained in section Configure options for Nero2d, except for

• --enable-mpi
• --enable-mpe
• --enable-blasfunc

as the first two involve the use of MPI and the latter doesn't appear to work will with Cygwin.
