* Go to the [gmsh web page](http://gmsh.info/) and download the latest version of gmsh-SDK: Windows-32bits (Code::Blocks provides a 32bits compiler)
* Go to the [gmsh web page](http://gmsh.info/) and download the latest version of [Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 64-bit](http://gmsh.info/bin/Windows/gmsh-4.5.2-Windows64-sdk.zip)
* Unzip it somewhere e.g. `C:\local\gmsh-4.1.4-Windows32-sdk`
* Unzip it in the `gmsh-api` folder
* Optional: you can create a soft link to shorten this path with the commands Open a terminal with `cmd.exe`, then:
* Rename `gmsh-4.5.2-Windows64-sdk` into `gmsh-sdk`
* Double click on `envs\win-mingw64.cmd`
* Create a build folder:
```
```
c:
mkdir build
cd local
mklink /J gmsh-sdk32 gmsh-4.1.4-Windows32-sdk
```
```
*It is also very convenient to move the gmsh dll from the `lib` folder to the `bin` folder:
*Add the following environment variables to your windows session:
*start the compilation
```
```
set GMSHSDK=C:\local\gmsh-sdk32
mingw32-make -j 4
set PATH=%GMSHSDK%\bin;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=%GMSHSDK%\include;%INCLUDE%
set LIB=%GMSHSDK%\lib;%LIB%
set PYTHONPATH=%GMSHSDK%\lib;%PYTHONPATH%
```
```
In other words, you should add the `bin` folder of `gmsh-sdk32` to your `PATH` so that you can type `gmsh` in any terminal. The `bin` folder also contains the gmsh dynamic library, that must be found when `gmsh` (or your future solver) is run. The `INCLUDE` and `LIB` variables allows `CMake` to find the header `gmsh.h` and the library `gmsh.lib` respectively. Eventually, you may want to add the `lib` folder to your `PYTHONPATH` so that the command `import gmsh` works in python (it could be useful if you want to run python examples)
* run each program
* Download the latest version of CMake from the [CMake website](https://cmake.org/download/) and install it (add `cmake` to your `PATH` when asked, so that you can type `cmake` from a terminal)
* Download [Code::Blocks](http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads). Choose the version with the mingw compiler included. Install it with the default options.
* Add the MinGW compiler to your `PATH`
* Clone this repository

## PC/Linux/gcc
gmsh SDK requires `libgfortran.so.3` to be installed on the system. On Ubuntu, you can install gfortran with the following line (admin rights required)
```
```
sudo apt-get install libgfortran3
myedges.exe
```
```
## PC/Linux/gcc
If you want to build the examples on NIC4, you must load a gcc module. I recommend the following one which is compatible with many other libraries of the system.

The following variables should also be defined so that CMake finds the correct gcc. Put these lines in your `~/.bashrc` file:
