Dear team, My name is Mubaraq, and I am a PhD student who is working on modeling project that involves some complex computations. I transitioned a model from R to Fortran due to performance concerns that hindered the efficiency of the original model being to slow in R. Within this Fortran environment, I am in need of robust root-finding algorithms. While exploring, I came across the fact that GSL root-finding tools has such potentials and its use with modern Fortran through fgsl. I learnt that I need to install GSL and then generate a static library which will then be used with fgsl. Regarding the installation of GSL and generating the static/dynamic library, I have been attempting to install GSL with my Windows utilizing cmake for a while now; unfortunately, I have not succeeded in doing so yet I keep getting error that GSL cannot find cmake files from the installation folder.
My primary objective remains the creation of a self-contained model, thereby sparing users the need of recurrently downloading and installing the root solver. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate comprehensive documentation outlining a step-by-step guide on downloading GSL in windows and linking it with other code components. Could you kindly point me towards such documentation, if it exists? I am eagerly anticipating your response and thankful for your response in advance. Best regards, Mubaraq
