For Cygwin and the MinGW cross-compilers, suitable makefiles are
provided in src/MAKE/MACHINES. When using other compilers, like
Visual C++ or Intel compilers for Windows, you may have to implement
your own build system. Since none of the current LAMMPS core developers
your own build system. Due to differences between the Windows OS
and Windows system libraries to Unix-like environments like Linux
or MacOS, when compiling for Windows a few adjustments may be needed:
Do not set the -DLAMMPS_MEMALIGN define (see LMP_INC makefile variable)
Add -lwsock32 -lpsapi to the linker flags (see LIB makefile variable)
Try adding -static-libgcc or -static or both to the linker flags when your
LAMMPS executable complains about missing .dll files :ul
Since none of the current LAMMPS core developers
has significant experience building executables on Windows, we are
happy to distribute contributed instructions and modifications, but
we cannot provide support for those.
