Problems installing deal ii last 8.3.0 with cygwin

[Orio Maggi]

Dears,

could you help me ?

I arrive at the end of the make process and I find the dlls in bin directories.

- cygdeal_II.g-8.3.0.dll

- cygdeal_II-8.3.0.dll

plus the mesh converter exe

The following step reading the ReadMe file should be make debug.

But this dont't work :see the error.txt here annexed.

Going into the example\step-1 I do cmake with the path to the dll above.

Followed after by a make run.

I receive he message in the pcture annexed, cattura.jpg

Don't mind about the text "Permission denied" was the antivurus, read instead code 127, please

Many thanks at who can help me, 

Regards

Orio

Orio,

we do not support cygwin. If you have access to Visual Studio 2013 or newer, you can use the development version of deal.II. Otherwise, you need Linux.

Best,

Bruno

Hej Orio,

as Bruno has already denoted, the build of deal.II within cygwin is not really supported, and

from my experience, you only get a very short cut version within that.

In the recent development of virtual machines, vagrant has shown to be a very useful

tool to get around such a problem, by using a virtual machine, e.g. a supported

linux distribution such as ubuntu 14/15 or centos 7 via vagrant.

It seems that there is an installer for vagrant for windows here:

  http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads

but you may need additional tools for setting up a VM within Windows.

Unfortunately, I do not have any recent experience with VMs on Windows, thus that I

can't help you out furthermore on this topic.

If it works, you simply can download a linux with a Vagrantfile (cf. the documentation

of the previous reference how to set up, get the VM started and halted).

At all, the better approach would be to switch to a current linux distribution if you

really want to use deal.II with all of it's features.

Best

Alternatively, you can find a (slightly outdated) virtual machine image
for VirtualBox here:

Sigh, another thing to put on my todolist.
