How to use gcc(instead of VS2010) in windows to creat an FMU

[jywang2016]

Hi

Thanks for your great work! I am a windows10 user and the EnergyPlusToFMU works well with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. However, I wonder is there a way to create an FMU with gcc compiler for windows users ?

I have no idea about how to modify the batch files and I cannot find any info in the userGuide of EnergyPlusToFMU.

Out of curiosity why aren't you using Visual Studio 2015 Express which is free if you need a free solution?Do you need gcc in the loop absolutely? Thanks! Thierry

Thanks for your reply.

In fact, the Rtools provides gcc compiler for R user. If gcc can work well with EnergyPlusToFMU on windows, all R-users can export FMU without additive installation of VS 10 or VS 15 Express in windows.

In other word, I want find a minimum way to do the co-simulation in R environment. With VS 10 and reticulate package(enable R use pyFMI package), I already conduct the co-simulation in R successfully. Now, I want replace the "redundant one" ,namely VS, with gcc to minimize the whole toolchain.

If you haven't found a solution yet, I suggest to look at the Linux Scripts (https://github.com/lbl-srg/EnergyPlusToFMU/tree/master/Scripts/linux) which are set-up to use gcc.
