A..3.12 Installation on a Cygwin system

On a Windows machine Cygwin should be installed. In addition to the default package list one should also install the packages listed in table 14.

Table 14: Cygwin requirments for user install

Package	Package Group	Reason
gcc	Devel	For compiling C files
make	Devel	need GNU make
curl	Web	curl needed for patcher

If undertaking development work table 15 contains a list of potentially useful packages.

Table 15: Cygwin packages for developers

Package	Package Group	Reason
bison	Devel	bison
gdb	Devel	gdb
libxslt	Gnome	xsltproc
openssh	Net	ssh
vim	Editors	vi
wget	Web	wget, alternative to curl for patcher

In addition to the above one should install a Fortran compiler. The only compiler tested so far on Cygwin is g95. One should download g95-x86-cygwin.tgz from the G95 website, then untar in base Cygwin directory. It is important to download the stable version. We do not recommend downloading the self-extracting version.

With the above steps Molpro should now configure and will treat Cygwin as a generic Linux system. Once the program has been built it can be run in the normal way under Cygwin.
