1The NeXus source code should build under cygwin, but note that
2HDF4 may not work (HDF5 and XML are fine). When building the HDF5
3library you may want to specify an explicit prefix for the
4install location e.g.
5
6    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5  # for building HDF5
7
8Otherwise you will need to configure NeXus with
9
10    ./configure --with=hdf5=/path/to/where/hdf5/went  # for building NeXus
11
12or it will not be able to locate the HDF5 libraries.
13
14Alternatively there is a native Windows kit available
15from http://download.nexusformat.org/kits/windows that supports
16HDF4/HDF5/XML and building applications under both Visual Studio
17and MinGW
