The WinMPICH and WMPI has "*.lib" files, whereas my systems (laptop) has space and money only for the GNU gcc and g77 compiler. Purchasing another copy of DevStudio will blow away my meager budget and also mean that I have to get a new laptop/harddisk (my laptop is a 16MB, 486DX100 with 500MB harddisk). > > Has anyone ported either LAM or MPICH to the GNU-Win32/CYGWIN system > >running under Win95/WinNT ? > > Best wishes, > > Alexander N.
