Compiling Abinit 5.8.4 under Windows

Hello,

I need to compile Abinit under Windows, in order to be able to use a Windows server for my calculations. The preferred way would be, to use Visual Studio 2008 (VS) and the Intel Compilers version 11.1.

When opening the Abinit src directory in VS as a "project from existing code", and compiling, the most errors come with the use of UNIX C libraries. I have no problem to include GNU gsl.

Could you please help me, or at least give some hints, on how to make this work? The goal would be, of course, to get a parallel build, where I would like to use the already installed Microsoft MPI.

Thank you very much in advance!

I think the easiest way is to use the Cygwin environment, and you should change the linker to use the VS one, not the GNU one under Cygwin.
