[pooma-dev] POOMA for windows on Dev-C++, or a binary???

[Ben McLean (finlaylabs)]

Dev-C++ is a popular GPL'd C++ IDE, http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html ,
and I have found it very functional. It would be very useful to have a setup
for POOMA such as is available for Visual C++, so that an example compiled
by Dev-C++ triggered (error-free) compilation of POOMA.

For an example of the type of errors I get, when compiling the CosTimes.cpp
example I get many undefined reference errors, starting with:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `Pooma::initialize(int&, char**&,
bool, bool, bool)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to
`Pooma::BrickBase<2>::BrickBase(Interval<2> const&, bool)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `Pooma::blockAndEvaluate()'
etc etc...

I am guessing this is a makefile problem, presently Dev-C++ is
auto-generating its own..., maybe it is a simple matter to set up POOMA for
compilation by Dev-C++, and open it to an even wider audience.

Thanks,
Ben.
