- Within cygwin, compile with make -f Makefile_nogtk to compile SparSpec without the GTK GUI.

Known bugs in the Windows version

Contrary to the Linux version, the shell window does not display the state of the optimisation algorithm during computation.
SparSpec may fail to open files if directory's name contains special characters (i.e. accents in french).
