Re: on GetFEM questions

[Konstantinos Poulios]

Dear Yintong Shang,

If you use Anaconda on windows, it is quite easy to install multiple python versions on Anaconda. I have both 3.7 and 3.8 on my Windows system and use 3.7 for running GetFEM.

@Jean-François Barthélémy could you maybe share your recipe for creating the Windows package, then maybe myself or someone else can built packages for newer Python and GetFEM versions. Some of the questions that I have is for example if you compile MUMPS yourself on windows, how about blas and lapack?

Best regards

Dear Yintong Shang,

I compiled GetFEM for Python 3.7 using MinGW but I am not planning to do so for Python >=3.8 since I have problems with these versions of Python with other libraries (especially using Boost.Python for C++/Python interfaces involving numpy arrays). I'm sorry. But you can try to install MinGW and compile GetFEM following the instructions of the website (https://getfem.org/install/install_windows.html).

Best regards

To whom it may concern,

I want to install GetFEM on Windows 10 system, and I notice from https://getfem.org/download.html

that only Python 3.7 is supported. But I have been using Python 3.8 and changing version is tiring.

Will there be support for Python 3.8 lately or if it is possible to use GetFEM on my current configuration?

Best,

Yintong Shang
