[chimera-dev] Chimera's Amber tools compile on windows

[Abhilash J]

Dear all!

     I am interested in compiling Amber tools for windows. I tried
compiling it from the source code from AMBER website. I was successful for
linux and cygwin, But i could not get it to work for windows environment.
Few days back i came across chimera. You were able to compile and run the
Amber tools code on windows environment. I downloaded and compiled the
Amber tools part from the foreign section of the source code. I was unable
to get it running on my machine. Also the version was old. In fact i looked
at  chimera 1.9, it is currently using amber tools 12.
    I believe the compile might have to do something with cygwin
environment and mingw cross platform build. I think there should be patches
which help in this build. I am unaware of them.  I might be wrong too.
    All my efforts till now have not yielded a working code on
windows.Please let me know what all will be required to compile amber tools
on windows, and how i can compile it.
    I will be grateful if you could help me or point me to the right
direction.
    Thanking you.
