Building GENIE on Windows Platforms
The GENIE makefiles have been modified to enable a command line compilation of the framework under Windows using Linux emulation software.
Prerequisites
The build system is known to work with the following software:
| Tool | Software | Versions | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linux emulation | CygWin | 1.5.12-1 | ||
| MinGW (MSYS) | 1.0.10 | Build only. There is no bash shell available so genie_example.job cannot be executed. | ||
| Third party libraries | NetCDF | 3.5.0, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.6.2 | Pre-built dll from UCAR can be used with the native microsoft compilers. We recommend building the NetCDF library locally. | |
| Python | 2.3.3+ | Available in CygWin. Must be installed separately for MinGW. | ||
| Native Microsoft | Fortran Compiler | Compaq Visual Fortran | 6.6C | |
| Intel Visual Fortran | 9.1, 10.0, 10.1 | |||
| C/C++ Compiler / Linker | Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 | 7.1.3088 | ||
| Microsoft Platform SDK for Server 2003 | R2 | |||
| Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 | 8.0.50727.762 | |||
| GNU Compilers | Fortran Compiler | GNU g95 | 0.91 | |
| C/C++ Compiler / Linker | GNU gcc | 4.0.3 | ||
| GNU ld | 2.16.91 | |||
Installing a Linux Emulator
In order to execute the GENIE build process on a Windows platform it is necessary to install a Linux emulator that can process the GNU make files. There are two popular Linux emulation tools for Windows; Cygwin and MinGW. Cygwin provides a comprehensive Linux emulation layer for Windows and can be used to build, execute and manage GENIE. MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) provides a limited set of tools that are sufficient to build GENIE but cannot be used to configure the model for execution. We therefore recommend the Cygwin route but provide details of MinGW for completeness.
Cygwin installation
MinGW installation
MinGW http://www.mingw.org/ provides a build environment capable to generating Windows executables that do not rely on 3rd party dlls.
