Re: Compiling UMFPACK to work with Visual Studio 2008

I am a little new to compiling pre packaged routines.  Has anyone
compiled UMFPACK to work under windows and using it in visual studio
2008? Any help would be great.

Usually I use gcc under cygwin but recently I did need to compile my
application under VS 2005. VS 2008 is still a beta, isn't it?

What happened that VS can just take a library compiled by gcc and this
what I have done - just renamed libumpfack.a to umpfack.lib. Well, it
is work only if one uses mingw, that is, the flag -mno-cygwin.

This way it could be simpler to learn. You download cygwin with gcc
and make. Make a few modifications in UFconfig.mk and then just make
"make" and you have the library under gcc. Once more, do not forget to
use -mno-cygwin, if you want to use it with VS.

It is also possible to use VS as a command line tool. This way you can
use GNU make the same way as above. Well, it is necessary to edit
UFconfig.mk a bit more. cl will be as CC and link as linker and lib as
AR.
