    Hello, I am interested in seeing if there is a way to compile Smina on Windows without having to install and run Cygwin. I know that the original Autodock Vina is able to do this, and there are binaries for windows machines. This is how I run it now, but I would really like to make use of smina instead. Is there a help topic or something that would help me with the compiling steps. Or are there precompiled binaries that could be made available?

    Thanks

    Have you tried using the Linux subsytem for windows that is available in Window10?

    The problem is that I am using a company computer and they won't let me enable that feature. I've gotten precompiled boost library. My problem lies with getting versions of eigen3 and openbabel3 that are recognized without having to compile them myself.

    Thanks

    I think your best bet might be to make a self contained binary on a computer you do have full access on and copy it over, but I don't have any experience building things on windows so can't offer much in the way of support. I don't even know if static binaries are thing on windows or if you could run something built on the linux subsystem of cygwin on a computer that doesn't have them installed.
