Trouble when doing cmake in Windows about njoy21

[jlconlin]

@WenyinWei Can you give me more information about the process you went through to get these errors? We've built NJOY21 on Windows and haven't seen this before. Keep in mind that we only support installing/building NJOY21 (or NJOY2016) using Windows Subsystem for Linux.

@jlconlin Thank you jlconlin, I didn't compile it on Windows Subsystem but by MinGW. It seems that the compatibility problem would deadly limit its usage on Windows platform while embedding parts of NJOY(e.g. parsing ENDF file) into a Windows software. Do you have any good suggestions to settle the problem?

Thanks,
Wenyin

@WenyinWei Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is available for every Windows 10 machine for free and works well. We would like to make this native on Windows, but don't currently have the resources. For now WSL seems to be the way to go.

Could any part of NJOY works as a third party header in windows app? This is good enough but relies on mature modulization organization.

[jlconlin]

Not at this time, no.

All, An executable created under WSL can be run in Windows ... see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/interop Skip Kahler

@WenyinWei If you are looking for something for working with ENDF/ACE files, you may want to look at others projects too. OpenMC has a data module that can give you access to data within ENDF files through Python classes. Fudge also has similar functionality. Both of those are written primarily in Python and may be easier to integrate into a Windows app.

Thanks for all of your warm reply. I would try some of these tools someday and report the best choice.

NJOY21 defers ENDF processing to a independent software library called ENDFtk, which is not specific to the NJOY21 application and can be (and has been) used in the context of other applications

Regarding the error you encountered can you tell us a bit more about the environment your working in and walk through the steps you took to clone and build NJOY21?
