Hi, Macro,

You really did a great job! Now I am wondering whether you can go a little
bit further so help to save other people's time on the installation of the whole
bunch of software. Since Microsoft EXE file can be executed in most computers
directly, maybe you can pack the Gate.exe file along with other necessary DLL
files in one package. Other people can just downloat the package and unpack them
in their computer. What they need to do is to download the data files and setup
some environment variables.  In this way people don't need to install the MFC and
cygwin those stuff. What do you think?

Best regards,

Yuxuan

Dear GATE and Windows users,



with some modifications of the source code it is possible to run GATE 5.0.0 on Windows platforms without a virtualization software.

As a stand-alone exe file GATE can be executed without Cygwin. The advantages are:



- required hard disk space: GATE on Windows 1.4 GB (including ROOT), GATE on Windows with VMware 9 GB

- used RAM memory during simulation: GATE on Windows 350 MB, GATE on Windows with VMware at least twice as much

- Simulation time for benchmarkSPECT: on my laptop GATE on Windows is about 20 % faster than GATE on Windows with VMware



But the greatest advantage is: Linux is not needed anymore !!!



The step-by-step Installation Guide can be downloaded from here:
