Windows support #176

subhacom · 2015-10-26T00:41:02Z

In an earlier revision setup.py allowed building moose on cygwin. This is not up to date and creates confusion with cmake build.
In stead of keeping separate build system for windows, it is desirable to update the existing build system to accommodate the same.

There are several possible approaches:

Use cygwin : this may be simplest as cygwin provides an almost complete linux-like system.
Use mingw/msys: moose can be made a single package with easential requirements from mingw. Git for windows takes this approach. However this may make things redundant for systems with existing python stack.
Anaconda: this is a popular free python stack for scientific computing. By providing a package for conda, moose can smoothly fit into an existing installation.

Compiles with cygwin on Windows-7

Requirements

numpy
cmake
gsl
hdf5
python-dev
pkg-config
freetype
python-setuptools

Above packages are available in cygwin. We need matplotlib which may or may not
be available in cygwin.

$ easy_install matplotlib

In addtion, one can manually install sbml.

It is possible to create a cygwin package using cmake. I need to test this first. I'll check how to make packages for conda.

It works for cygwin (64 bit) 2.871 with gcc 4.9.3 on Windows 7 after the newer files were added to moose-core/setup.py. So the problem is possibly with some flags or includes in cmake build. Also, apart from the build, there were some minor issues of bad imports and requirements which caused problem with setup.py install.

Creating a package for conda is not difficult. Only problem is to figure out the way to create the conda recipe for the project.

Under bash (on Windows), moose launches fine. May be this is the way to go for Windows. Other options are conda, and docker based solution.

dilawar · 2017-12-28T13:04:55Z

Since Windows 10 supports bash; user can now install ubuntu packages in windows (at least for python scripting). Maintaining/creating cygwin package is not worth the effort anymore.

Other solution is to create a python wheel which can be installed by pip. Initial attempt to create wheel were not successful because of gsl/hdf dependencies.

dilawar · 2018-03-06T11:22:55Z

Wheels have been created for linux and OSX. Will give a try for windows as well.

dilawar · 2018-07-31T04:13:08Z

Since windows has started supporting bash and docker, we don't plan any windows specific build. I can try wheel build on windows.

Support wheel on windows
