Cross complie linux make files onto a windows 7 machine using PGI Cygwin

Hello,


I am very unfamiliar with linux/unix (don't even know the difference), but am trying to get some linux software to run on my Windows machine for my research. I have the makefiles for the software, and it is designed to be compiled in the PGI complier, which I also have. When i try to compile the software i start the bash shell through PGI, go to the directory of the makefiles and enter the command:

make -f make_rrtm_linux_pgi
or
gmake -f make_rrtm_linux_pgi

I've attached screenshots of both trials
in both cases, there seems to be an error, in the case of gmake, something seems to happen, but it makes a .o file (which I can't find) where I need to be making a .exe file.

I have been stuck on this for a while, and obviously don't know what I'm doing, any help would be appreciated. The program I am trying to run is RRTM, an atmospheric modelling program available free at (rtweb.aer.com/rrtm_frame.html )

Thanks!

It expects the src to be one directory up from you, i.e. "../src". Also adjust the paths in the makefile to fit your system.

cross-compiling is to compile binaries for one machine on another machine, you're just trying to compile binaries for one machine on the same machine.

Thanks for the quick reply!

To clarify, these are linux binaries I'm trying to complie onto a Windows 7 X64 machine, so i think that I am trying to cross compile.

The file structure that came when it was uncompressed is: /rrtm_sw/src, /rrtm_sw/makefiles. I moved the makefile to the parent directory (rrtm_sw) and re-ran gmake, and got the following screen:

I think I need to tell it to cross compile somwhow, as I am still trying to make a .o file...

Windows is not Linux. You can't use Linux binaries on Windows. You should try downloading the source and building from that instead.

It may be complaining because you don't have mv installed, or perhaps not in your PATH.

Sorry, I think I have my terminology wrong, I do have the source files (they are fortran, i beleive with .f extensions) and am trying to complie it in windows. The makefiles are designed for linux though, i beleive (at least they are named as such)

Do you have mv installed and in your PATH?

yes, at least typing 'mv --help' will pull up help for it, so i'm assuming that the whole thing is tehre
