[Ngspice-users] Windows native mode - command line options

[Scott D. <sc...@da...>]

I've been using ngspice under Linux - and it works great!. I've tried
it under Windows XP under Cygwin and that works fine too. However,
when configured for Windows native mode, ngspice only runs in
interactive mode but not in batch mode.

Specifically, with ngspice-17 under Cygwin:

  $ ./configure --with-windows --enable-xspice
  $ make
  $ make install

Now if I try to run ngpsice with any command line options, they seem to
be ignored. However, some options like '-h' will cause ngspice to
briefly show the command window (the graphical thing for windows) and
immediately exit. It appears command line invocation options are
supported in src/winmain.c (see MakeArgcArgv()), however it's not clear
whether or not these options are parsed prior to creating the command
window.

Has anyone ever managed to get command line invocation options to work?
