That's a lot of text to respond to, but let me see if I can broadly do
it. It appears that the idea of executing Linux code under Win XP is d-e-a-d. (Let's ignore VM) I will need to recompile the c-code in some way under Win XP. Probably Cygwin. The python code I'm working on will only be available to a private audience which is comprised of Win users. Some years ago I started down the CygWiu road just to have Linux available under Win. Old habits die hard. It was erratic and I pulled it off. Cygwin seems to be still alive, so I think I will give it a shake today. I hope it can tolerate the Makefiles and libraries the 38K line program requires. My former knowledge of Makefiles died years ago. Here's the main program's header file (and part of a Makefile). Probably the tricky part is the graphic library use. In the meantime, I headed for a Cygwin download. wolf.c, the main program header. #define wolf #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include "cgi-draw.h" <---- This guy, maybe #include "novas.h" #include "global.h" #include "calstars.h" #include "imatrix.h" #include "cnstl.h" A sample of Makefile.linux /* ************ markstars *************** main routine of WOLF inputs: input_image - path for the input fits image file. output_image - filename of the output jpg processed image. detect - if 1, detect "unepxected" stars. write_on_target - if 1, type labels on the output image. In this case, output image must be specified. inverted - if 1, the image is inverted (black background and white stars). constellations - if 1, draw constellations (greek style) lines. ... --
