Mingw32 compilation

Gets Around
Thank you very much for your help and for addition into documentation.

Let me make a few clarifications.

1. Since the compilation done by UNIX commands, I guess that you used Msys. This is not a trivial point for Windows. I have never dealt with Msys, and it was not installed, even though I use Mingw32 itself. Please write about it, so that for Windows programmers it was clear.

2. In the description was not specified that before command
% make FC=gfortran DEPEND_CC=gcc
must be
% cd $NWCHEM_TOP/src 
% make nwchem_config

3. It would be nice also give example of compilation without Python.

4. You specify
NWCHEM_TOP=~/nwchem-6.5
but the distribution is used a long name, and compilation with a long name fails. It would be good to explicitly specify the need for renaming.

I am afraid that the failure with a long name suggests that the full path enter into the program. I would not want that path of my PC were in the program. Can this be avoided?
