Windows Complie Issue

[Admin]

There may be some issues with compiling MYSTRAN in Windows. While it appears to be resolvable, can we make this either (a) more bullet-proof or (b) provide some instructions in the trouble shooting section of the build MD here: https://github.com/MYSTRANsolver/MYSTRAN...n/BUILD.md

From the Fortran forum, there is this thread, and the following notable comments:

• As suggested I tried building via MSYS2 (or rather MinGW-w64). That failed because despite a message that CMake 3.23 would be installed, I am stuck with CMake 3.17.
  
• Instead, I switched to Cygwin, which does have an up-to-date version on my machine.
  
• The configuration step started, but then I got a complaint that submodules had not been downloaded. No indication of what submodules are to be downloaded. There is no indication in the BUILD.md file either.
  
• A quick check of the MakeLists.txt file showed a few packages are needed, but there is no information that I can see about where to get the various packages.
  
• I was also surprised to see f2c - is that really necessary?
  
• The information in BUILD.md suggests though the script will do it. Is that outdated information?
  
  

Side note: I find a fairly recent version of CMake in the installation but it does not do much (no output, stops immediately - missing DLLs?). In the MinGW-w64 console a different version is invoked that actually works.
