Hi Davide,

Unless you are willing to do something super hacky, I'd say Chrono should 
be installed on Linux too, if you are going to do co-simulations between 
DEME and Chrono (true for both C++ and Python versions). Until I found a 
solution to the Windows build problem, that is.

Thank you,
Ruochun
