nwchem-6.3 in cygwin


Just Got Here
Is it possible to compile nwchem-6.3 in cygwin? and if possible, then how?

Hi Manash,

Compiling nwchem under cygwin is mostly like compiling nwchem under Linux. Currently it depends a little bit on which version of cygwin you have. The most recent versions of cygwin actually support a version of openmpi. Ultimately this should make things even easier although I haven't managed to get that code working yet. As a first shot my recommendation would be to put the nwchem source onto your cygwin box and then use the build_nwchem script to compile it. By default it should do the right thing but you will get a serial executable. If it does not work, let me know.

Best wishes,

 Huub
