How to make LAMMPS with optional packages on Windows

Hi all

I am trying to run LAMMPS on Windows 7 system, however, my simulations need optional and user-defined packages. I didn’t find out how to build LAMMPS with optional packages on Windows. Does it mean there is no way to build LAMMPS with optional packages on Windows? If yes, can any one recommend me some methods? Thanks very much.

Best regards

the standard building instructions for LAMMPS apply to windows as much
as to any other operating system (which means that you cannot use
visual c++ and its GUI, but have to use a unix-like environment like
cygwin). so i don't understand why you state that optional package
cannot be compiled.

i personally find it infinitely easier to build windows binaries on
linux with a cross compiler. that is how the precompiled windows
installer packages are generated.
you can find my notes on the procedure here:
http://git.lammps.org/git/?p=lammps-icms.git;a=blob;f=tools/mingw-cross/README;hb=HEAD

i provide them with no support. thus use at your own risk and please
don't ask me about it.
