It is possible to install deal.II on Microsoft Windows
systems as well, using either the Cygwin
or MingW environments
that provide most of the Unix like features for the Windows system
as well (such as ``perl'', or ``make''). You simply have to run the
``./configure'' script on the shell and follow the installation
instructions in the ReadMe
file. Also, you need to include the deal.II/lib
path in your PATH
environment variable (e.g. by editing your .bash_profile
file or the Windows registry).
As far as we know, the only point to consider is that you can't use the ``make'' distributed with MingW, but have to use the GNU ``make'' from CygWin. If you should encounter other problems, we would love to hear about it and will try to provide fixes for them.
