how can I compile the openLB with Cygwin?

[Leaf]

Hi, everybody and Mathias,rn I want to run the OpenLB under windows and I remember that it can be compiled by Cygwin with some changes, which mentioned by Mathias in a topic. But I don’t know how. I tried once, the error mainly focused on the files in boost. Have anyone compiled it successfully with Cygwin under windows? Could you plz give some advice to achieve it? Thank you so much. My email address is openlb12@163.com.

Hi,rnrnit is imporatant to install boost first and link the installed one. For it the path in Makefile.inc needs to be changed!rnrnBest regardsrnMathias

hey, Mathias.rn I finally succeeded in compiling OpenLB under windows with Eclipse(IDE) using Cygwin. But I changed several code files(which seems unbelievably unreasonable) and delete some non-using files. The project can run and do some debug. But it still remains several problems. Are you interested in building an official version of windows OpenLB? Maybe we can do some work together. What’s more, could I publish it in the Forum, so that more people can help fix the problem and create a more perfect version. Thanks a lot!rnrn PS:rn If anyone of you is interested in OpenLB windows version, plz contact me, my e-mail is openlb12@163.com

Hi,rnrnon a virtual maschine, you need to install packages as on a real linux system. For it, follow the instrtuctions on the user guide chapter compilation section linux.rnrnBestrnMathias
