| − | These patches were based on Symscape's "v3" patch for OpenFOAM available [http://www.symscape.com/openfoam-1-5-x-on-windows here]. They differ substantially from that patch, as well as the more recent one available [http://www.symscape.com/openfoam-1-6-x-on-windows here]. The build scripts for [http://www.mingw.org mingw] were also based on the build-script available on the 1.5.x link.

| − | With this guide and available patches, you should be able to cross-compile the whole OpenFOAM library and applications, using MPICH2 instead of Open MPI for parallel computing. You can cross-compile using [http://www.mingw.org mingw32] and/or [http://www.cadforte.com mingw-w64]. These enable you to build OpenFOAM 1.6 for Windows 32 and 64 bit versions, from Linux 32 and 64bit architectures.
