How the build was configured on Windows
Installed cygwin including gcc, make, etc NOTE: cygwin's link.exe application must be renamed, so that VC's link will be used for the build.
Obtained ROOT source from their CVS repository using the tag v5.14.00d

Downloaded Python 2.5 for windows
We decided to upgrade to Python 2.5 at this point in the Core Meeting from March 13, 2007
We double-checked ROOT's abilty to handle this version of Python and were pleased to find this ROOT forum discussion:

Obtained FFTW 3.1.2 from http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html

From the DOS prompt:
set PATH=
set LIB=
set INCLUDE=
and ran vsvars32.bat
Then
set ROOTSYS=C:\heather\root514e\root
set PYTHONDIR=C:\Python25
set PYTHONPATH=%ROOTSYS%\bin
set XMLDIR=C:\heather\root514e\libxml2-2.6.15.win32

Start cygwin via the command line: bash --login -i
At the cygwin prompt, changed directories to the %ROOTSYS% dir and then ran configure:

renamed cygwin's link.exe to link_cyg.exe:
http://root.cern.ch/root/roottalk/roottalk06/1448.html
Avoids cygwin's link app from interfering with the build
make
make cintdlls (which seems to do nothing)
make map
make install
MathMore note: Even if we enable MathMore via --enable-mathmore, if there is no GSL library available MathMore will not be built. As of July, 2007, we have never built ROOT to include mathmore - even the ROOT-central binary distribution on windows does not include mathmore (though their unixes do). See: http://root.cern.ch/cgi-bin/print_hit_bold.pl/root/roottalk/roottalk07/0343.html?mathmorevisual#first_hit
How the build was configured on Windows using cygwin and VS2005
Installed cygwin including gcc, make, etc NOTE: cygwin's link.exe application must be renamed, so that VC's link will be used for the build.
Installed MS Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/downloadand installed the Service Pack 1.
On this page I followed the link in Step 4 "Install the platform SDK"; on the next page I clicked on the link in Step 2 "Platform SDK" and ended up here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0BAF2B35-C656-4969-ACE8-E4C0C0716ADB&displaylang=en
"Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK Web Install"
I downloaded 'PSDK-x86.exe', chose a Typical install.
Next I installed the "Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)" from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en
When I launched the installer it asked me to choose between "Repair" and (I think) "Remove" an existing installation. I chose "Repair".
Finally I downloaded and installed ".NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x86)" from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=FE6F2099-B7B4-4F47-A244-C96D69C35DEC&displaylang=en
