Terry:
Updating your cygwin with the latest version would probably fix the
problem.  Especially, you should install/update the development
package in cygwin, among other things. Hope this helps.

I use it with Cygwin on WinXP, and ./configure always works properly. So probably your Cygwin has some libraries missing. On my PC I don't have ATLAS installed but the generic BLAS library from Cygwin default installation settings works fine.

Dear Terry,

 

    I used getfem on both Linux and Windows. In order to have getfem running on Windows under Cygwin

you should have some BLAS library available.

    I don't know what exactly you configure script told you, but it was probably absence of BLAS library.

I, personally,  give a preference to ATLAS, a kind of automatically tuned BLAS that you can compile and install under Cygwin (takes time to compile but no real work).

 

 

    In case the problem was different, before running ./configure you should try  running autogen.sh , which creates a correct ./configure script.

 

Success,

                        Andriy

Hi,

 

I am trying to use getfem++ on windows XP.

 

Have cygwin,

Have Borland C++ compiler,

Have Visual C++ compiler.

 

The “sh ./configure” for a basic install under cygwin does not work.

 

Has anyone had success in trying to get getfem++ to fly on Windows.

 

Prepared to spend some time (and to document for others) if I can get some pointers.

 

Regards

Terry Hendicott
