Gromacs Installation

Question

[srikrish.sree]

i am trying to install GROMACS in my system (WIndows 7 64 bit). I first configured the system by installing cygwin and have also installed FFTW. I am getting errors (ERROR 1, ERROR 2) in the "MAKE" step of configuring GROMACS. I dont know what the errors mean. I have also tried configuring with "--enable-shared" option . Help needed !!!!

Thanks

Error 1 & 2 are just the very last error messages in the error stack of make. Please update your question and include the last 30 lines of make's output. Also, please include the steps that you are carrying out to build GROMACS, and if applicable, describe which steps of http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2009-September/044792.html you are not following as described.

Gromacs now comes with cmake which can be used to compile it in windows. Long ago I compiled gromacs in cygwin which took ages to compile and run. Then I switched to ubuuntu and

sudo apt get install gromacs

did the trick. Compiling was also much easier. Look at the gromacs documentation for more info. Anyway this question is more suitable for gromacs user mailing list.
