    Can I use deal.II on a + Windows platform?

    + +

    + 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: +

    + Earlier versions caused trouble, still you should try the latest + versions first. A look into the mail + archive might be advisable in case of difficulties. +

    + +

    Other Windows compilers

    +

    + 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! +
