Re: [Urdme-help] Windows install

[Brian D. <br...@dr...>]

Hi Adam,
It is theoretically possible to run URDME under window using Cygwin or similar setup.  The reason this is necessary is URDME uses GCC to compile the model and solver together for efficient simulation.  Our team doesn't have the setup to develop and test a windows install, but if you are able to get it working we would love to know how to do that.  Alternatively, you could install linux on a virtual machine software package (such as VirtualBox) and run URDME there.

I also want to take this opportunity to plug the new work we are doing, pyURDME.  PyURDME is a python+fenics interface to URDME instead of the Matlab+Comsol interface.  It "should" be release soon (we are hoping to get v1.0 out in March).  This doesn't eliminate this issues with the windows install, but does provide access to the software without any commercial package (as well as some other great features).

Thanks,
  Brian Drawert
