+ First the good news: yes, you can. Still, this answer needs to be
+ more specific. The configuration program for
+ deal.II expects a Unix-like environment. This is
+ provided by the cygwin
+ compiler. People reported successful compilation with the
+ following combination of tools:
+
+ - cygwin 1.3.9-1
+
- make 3.79.1-5
+
+ Earlier versions caused trouble, still you should try the latest
+ versions first. A look into the mail

+ Authomatic configuration requires a lot of Unix tools. We have not
+ heard of anybody trying to generate the necessary files to compile
+ with any of the genuine Windows compilers. And, we do not encourage
+ to change a lot of files to make this possible. Still, if you see a
+ simple and clean way to make deal.II work with
+ any other Windows compiler, get in contact!
