Instructions how to compile ORTE for Windows:
=============================================

ORTE for windows can be compiled by MinGW and Microsoft
Visual C. The library providing pthread API is required
in both cases.


When ORTE is build by Microsoft Visual C the Pthreads-w32
should be used

  http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/

When build by MinGW32 then current version (3.0) versions
of MinGW-w64 integrates winpthreads directly in the standard
development tools distribution

  http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/

There is inluded local copy of winpthreads library for
the case that older  MinGW version is used.

The cross-compilation of ORTE from GNU/Linux system
---------------------------------------------------

The Debian package mingw-w64-i686-dev provides GCC
cross-compiler and libraries. The actual package
used for the build was mingw-w64-i686-dev_3.0.0-2_all.deb.
