[Matrix-SIG] Multipack and Windows

[Travis Oliphant]

I empathize with users who are stuck with Windows but as I spend no time
on that platform I am not inclined to spend much time making a windows
binary.  Of course, I am not opposed to the idea of a Windows binary
either.

People interested in getting some of the functionality of Multipack may be
interested in the Cygnus tools such as the cygnus-win32 development
enviroment (including the same GNU Fortran compiler that I use.) Some of
the subroutines (from MINPACK and QUADPACK) are in the SLATEC library
which is available in binary form at
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/5564/slatec.htm

The current Makefile in CVS allows for compilation of separate modules and
linking with your own libraries so you could use this binary library and a
C compiler to get a Windows binary of some of the functionality without
"too-much" trouble I suspect.

Or, you could just install Linux...  :-)

Best of luck,

Travis Oliphant
