[Help-gsl] Building gsl-1.15 under MinGW

I have a similar problem to one described in the archives, and I have more information about the problem. This relates to a thread labeled: Re: [Help-gsl] Building gsl-1.15 under MinGW and can be found by searching the archives for 'HAVE_IEEE_COMPARISONS'. The problem appears to be a failure

Thanks Armin, for trying. If CygWin is not int the PATH, there is probably no risk of using its tools instead of the MinGW's ones. Sorry for the noise, it sounded similar to me as one of my previous problems. David On 08/18/2011 04:24 PM, Armin Armbruster wrote: Thanks David, I played around

I found a workaround: I installed a virtual machine with WinXP, SP3 and was able to build gsl-1.15 with the same MinGW/Msys installation that didn't work on my regular machine. I compared the config.log files and the only differences I could see where the hostname and some path settings. As I

Hi, I've experienced similar problem in past and the solution was to put the MinGW directory in the path *before* the standard Windows directories. The reason was that one command already exists in the Windows path but it was not the good one, but I don't remember which one it was. I recommend

I've tried building on another XP machine and got the same results (i.e. config.h is a direct copy of config.h.in). I'm starting to think the problem might be with MinGW and the fact that uname -s returns MINGW32_NT-5.1. I will post on the MinGW support forum for help. Thanks, Armin On

Thanks David, I played around with the PATH variable and took out everything other than the standard windows directories, all to no avail. I also checked which sed and awk are called, they are the ones from MinGW/msys/1.0/bin: $ which sed /bin/sed.exe $ which awk /bin/awk.exe $ sed --version

Thanks for the link John. That's great. I still wouldn't mind to find out what went wrong, since I already invested quite a few hours in this. --Armin On 8/16/2011 at 8:34 PM, John Chludzinski john.chludzin...@gmail.com wrote: Another option:

If you're using GSL, I would seriously suggest you take a look at LAPACK for linear algebra routines. GSL is literally orders of magnitude slower than LAPACK. (It took me 15hrs to solve a generalized eigenvalue problem using GSL and ~4 min. using LAPACK.) For LAPACK use GotoBLAS2
