![]() The resultant binary distribution of version 1.3 is available here (and there is a relating discussion thread on the Message-Board). There is a possibility of enabling full case-sensitivity in Windows, but can lead to some Windows programs to not work properly.Ī (relatively old) way to compile OpenFOAM on cygwin is described on the Message-Board. The OpenFOAM-sources need a fully case-sensitive file-system and can't even be unpacked properly on a Windows system (see ). One problem is that the file-system NTFS, that is used by most modern Windows Versions, is (by default) only case-preserving ( hello.c and Hello.C are the same file, when in the same folder). Now MinGW is the more popular porting solution, because while it still integrates parts of Cygwin (MinGW forked from version 1.3.3 of Cygwin ), it can run natively in Windows and be linked with other native Windows libraries and applications. The only feasible way in the past, was to port OpenFOAM to Windows using Cygwin, an application that implements the most common UNIX APIs on Windows.
