[Gate-users] GATE Installation Guide for XP and Vista

[li jun]

Hi, Marco

 You've done a very good job for Gaters on Windows OS. I tried this step
by step as your installation guide. Everything goes on well. But it failed
at the last step. After I typed "make" the second time, the error messeages
are as follow:

Entering source/arf ...

Surely,the obtained Gate.exe doesn't work. Could you or anyone else please tell what the problem
is, and how to fix it. By the way, Gate runs very slow on a single PC.So can we make use of the 
cluster tool on Windows. That is, how can I compile "gjs" and "gjm" on XP.
   Thank you very much.

Sincerely

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:

Best regards,



Marco
