+ We have no such system to try, but we have been told that it is + possible to use deal.II on Microsoft Windows + systems as well, using either the CygWin or MingW environments + that provide most of the Unix like features for the Windows system + as well (such as ``perl'', or ``make''). You simply have to run the + ``./configure'' script on the shell and follow the installation + instructions in the ReadMe + file. +

+ +

+ As far as we know, the only point to consider is that you + can't use the ``make'' distributed with MingW, but have to + use the GNU ``make'' from CygWin. If you should encounter other + problems, we would love to hear about it and will try to provide + fixes for them. +
