Greetings all!

OpenFOAM 1.4 basis is successfully ported on Windows(tm)/Cygwin platform. You can download whole port from OpenFOAM Extensions project, tab Downloads, hosted on SourceForge.net. Check this website for future Cygwin port releases.

Package OpenFOAM-1.4-1.cygwin.src.tar.bz2 is a source distribution that compiles without problems under Cygwin. It is a case-insensitive distribution, you can directly unpack it onto Windows file system. Read carefully a README.Cygwin before you start, please. I won't support anybody who has problems 'cause of his inability to read that file.

Package gcc-4.1.2-cygwin.i686.tar.bz2 contains binaries of a GNU GCC compiler, that is compiled with all necessary configuration switches. Do not use GNU GCC distributed with Cygwin, your OpenFOAM won't work with it.

Unported futures at this very moment are FoamX, patchTool and parallel stuff. Further porting work is in progress and concentrates exactly on the missing futures.

Your feedback and bug reports are welcome.

With best regards,
PV
