Hi all, In case anyone is interested, I have managed to compile the latest gsl-1.15 on windows 7 using MinGW and installed it to "C:\GSL-1.15". I have also created a project file for dev-c++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html) that can be used to access the gsl libraries via the IDE itself, making gsl coding on windows simpler. Although this has been done before ( http://devpaks.org/details.php?devpak=91), it was for an older version of gsl and has not been updated since.
I have tested the libraries in Windows Vista and 7 (32-bit OS). The testing was cursory. I just ran these example proggies ( http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Eigenvalue-and-Eigenvector-Examples.html http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Numerical-integration-examples.html http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Random-Number-Distribution-Examples.html ) and they dumped out the expected results. The detailed step by step procedure I followed for compilation and installation (together with the binaries and the dev-cpp project file) are posted on my website: http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~daneel/GSL_devcpp.html In case someone needs to run gsl on windows, it would be cool if they tried these out and posted their results here. If there are any hidden issues that I haven't considered, then commentary is invited.
