installation of fncs on windows

[all-lok]

Hi FNCS team,

I am a PhD student trying to work with fncs for co-simulation with PSSE and gridlabD through FNCS. I am very new to FNCS.

I am unable to verify my installation of fncs on windows. I am using python 2.7 for my work. When I follow the instructions on the building on windows. I can see the .dll files in the C:\Alok\FNCS\fncs\bin\x64\Release\v140\dynamic folder.

I am unable to install the fncs from the setup.py file after this and getting an error of unable to find vcvarsall.bat file. I have Visual Sudio 2015 for building the files in the previous step.

Please let me know what mistake I am doing. If you have any document with a few more detailed steps of using FNCS with windows and python 2.7, it will be very helpful.

Please let me know if you want any further details from my end to understand my situation.

Thanks and regards,
Alok.

Hi all-lok,

This repository is no longer being actively managed. My suggestion is to try and build CZMQ, ZMQ, and FNCS, from source in an MSYS2 environment. if you look https://www.msys2.org/ and https://github.com/orlp/dev-on-windows/wiki/Installing-GCC--&-MSYS2 these sites should give you the MSYS2 setup needed to build FNCS as described on the main repository page.
