    Not sure if it will help, as you will still need to figure out how to
    get the FFTW libraries on there, and then gromacs would have had to be
    (re)compiled so it knew where to locate them. Plus how to define
    whether
    you wanted 32bit or 64bit and single vs. double precision. IMO
    there are
    just way too many permutations to provide binaries for all of
    them, even
    if it was statically linked to fftw.

    Anyway, there are no binaries for any other platforms to download
    either
    (so it's not like it's a windows-specific observation).


For teaching purposes, it would be really great to have a line of statically linked windows versions. Even if it the only default executable per version, i.e. single-precision, 32-bit, so on....

Sure, but it's work to set up and maintain a database of relocatable binaries, and it creates the expectation that it will be done for more platforms... Someone who values it would have to take responsibility for it :-)
