I'm less concerned about using DLL's versus statically linking libraries =
and
executables than I am about trying to come up with a stable way to build =
and
use MCSim on a windows (or even a Mac OS) platform. In both cases I have
found only anecdotal accounts of how people have been able to manually
install and use it rather than specific and clear instructions.

I think too, the benefit to making an open source product available is =
to
allow the community to enhance the source and the documentation =
regarding a
wide variety of platforms. Open source that compiles only on a limited
platform is not much more useful than a proprietary tool.

I'm coming at MCSim not so much as a biological modeling end user, but
rather as a computer scientist who has been asked to evaluate, recommend =
and
provide local support for such tools as would enhance the capabilities =
of
our team of modelers. I'm more than willing to help improve the =
portability
of MCSim if it would help make it more useful to us in the process.

I have not tried to compile MCSim under Cygwin, but have successfully
compiled and used it under MinGW, using the tools for compiling R and R
packages called Rtools.  I submitted a patch to Frederic which he has
made available at the MCSim web page. Only statically-linked executables
are produced, but I question the advantage of using dlls for the mcsim
library, as it is small, and I understand there is a small performance
hit of using a dll over a statically-linked library (but my
understanding in these matters is small, and I'm quite open to being
wrong on this).

Tim,

I've used MCSim in the past on XP; most everything seemed to work except
that I had to use makemcsims instead of makemcsim.  I may have had to do
a few workarounds to get it to build, but it's been a few years, so I
forget.

I then moved to Linux (Ubuntu), and everything seemed to work much more
easily.

Now I need to use MCSim in an XP and cygwin environment again, and I
haven't had success in building it yet (to be honest, I haven't even had
time to try in about a month).  I'll be watching what you and =
Fr=E9d=E9ric
come up with; if I dig up stuff that has worked for me and is different
than what you found, I'll post it (sometime next week at the earliest).

Bill
