openmp under cygwin

[s.z.s]

Hi!

Is anybody using an openmp compiler under cygwin? I tried to install
gcc 4.2.2 without success and now I'm looking for alternatives.
Thanks, Steffen

BSD, Linux, Solaris.. comes to mind.

Hi!

I was thinking of solving it in cygwin, because I don't want two OS on
my laptop, and not having to load a live distro each time... I've got
a linux- machine, with which I work most of te time, but I've got a
windows machine as well (for some reasons...) and I want to be able to
work with openmp as well.

any ideas/experiences with cygwin?

Cheers, Steffen

This really isn't a C question.

Try one of the the cygwin mailing lists, <http://cygwin.com/lists.html>.

The simple solution is getting a live-CD and install Linux... using dual
boot.

We don't discuss GCC, OpenMP or cygwin here. GCC's support for OpenMP is
non-standard C extensions, in c.l.c "only" ISO C is topical.

And your suggestion above is a good example of *why* we don't discuss
Cygwin et al here. <OT>Running under Cygwin, if there's a way to do
it, means you can run the OpenMP application and other Windows
applications simultaneously. Dual booting means shutting down all
Windows applications (or at least hibernating them) on each
switch.</OT>

I already directed the OP to the Cygwin mailing lists. A web search
for "openmp cygwin" could also be productive.

If you aren't looking for advice, don't post where it's off topic.

Really? What are your qualifications on giving advice on this Keith?

I do have cygwin, XP, Linux installed, and have used dual boot since
Slackware 1.x

It does not. Under Linux, people even run Windows games these days.

Actually yes it does mean just that if "dual booting". Alternatively run Windows in
VirtualBox or VMWare or some such. Works well.

As for the gaming : WINE or Cedega are dodgy to say the least. Its far
better to keep a Windows partition for dual boot for gaming or other
professional applications that do not have Linux/Gnus versions.
