# $Header$

The aim of this file is to describe the environment necessary to build
the CCTK on an NT (or Windows 2000) platform.

Apart from the required software noted in the manual, you must install
the cygwin package available from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin .

After installing Cygwin, you must make sure that the GNU CPP is
somewhere on your path, and that the directory path leading to it
contains no names containing un-escaped spaces - these would confuse
the autoconf program.

In principle now all you need to do is start bash, checkout the CCTK,
and run make.

There may be warnings whilst generating dependencies for the C and C++
files, these may be ignored.

Please note that paths to additional include files or libraries must
contain no spaces.


Tested Software:
---------------

Cygwin:
------
Cygwin beta 20.1.
Cygwin 1.1.6

Perl:
----
perl 5.003_7 (Perl for Win32 build 312)
ActivePerl-5.6.0.620

C/C++:
-----
Microsoft Visual C 6.0

Fortran:
-------
Digital Fortran 6.0 


SPECIAL NOTE FOR PEOPLE USING NON-ENGLISH VERSIONS OF NT.  Currently
the include path to find the MS C include files is set for an english
language version, you will need to modify the SYS_INC_DIRS line in
your make.config.defn file (in a configuration) to the appropriate
one.  It is recommended that you use the 8.3 formatted name available
from dir /x on the command prompt (not bash), so as to get a name with
no spaces in - this makes life a lot easier 8-( We are currently
trying to find a way to automate the process.
