@Greg I'm neither Windows nor VS savvy, but by judging for what I have found you have a difficult task ahead of you:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1926311/cygwin-in-visual-studio The thing is the gsl people advise to use cygwin to build the library. Do you have to use VS for this project? Have you tried asking on a VS forum about using cygwin? Would be Eclipse CDT an option for you? I'm sorry I can't saying anything meanful :( BTW, have you tried Germán solution? If you did please let us know how it worked. @ John The gsl people report having floating point issues using MinGW (at least on version 1.15), can you report anything from your own experience? 2011/7/17 Greg Lyukshin <grigoriy.lyuks...@gmail.com> > Juan, > Thank you for replying > Well, I have never done anything that would require additional libraries in > VC 2008. > The directions that I was following are not working for me. > I found directions here: > http://www.quantcode.com/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=33 but my gsl > downloaded file does not contain .sln projects so I could build gsl library. > I was able to find .sln for VS 2010 but it doesn't work on my 2008 version. > So I am in a pickle now. > So far understand two things, one is that I need to build gsl library > through VS 2008 and two, I need to modify a linker in my project every time > I want to use any of the headers of gsl library. > > On Sat, Jul 16, 2011 at 10:36 AM, Germán Arias <ger...@xelalug.org> wrote: > >> rg::lab offers installers for Windows 32 and 64 bits: >> >> >> http://wiki.rglab.org/index.php?title=Public:Installation_of_GSL_from_Windows_binary >> >> >> On sáb, 2011-07-16 at 18:16 +0200, Juan Pablo Amorocho D. wrote: >> > Hi Grigoriy, >> > >> > do you have any particular problem so far, or you are just getting >> started? >> > The first place to look would be the INSTALL file in the gsl tarball. >> > >> > Cheers, >> > >> > Juan >> > >> > 2011/7/16 Grigoriy Lyukshin <grigoriy.lyuks...@gmail.com> >> > >> > > Hello, >> > > I downloaded GNUWin32 and want to install GSL library so I can use it >> wth >> > > VS C++ 2008.
