Check Windows installation

[krystophny]

Observations/Actions on Windows:

• Skip tests with Fortran compiler requirements
• ~Anaconda needs to be in Path (including MKL dlls) to run python from command line to run tests via profit run~ python.exe has to be copied to python3.exe to enable tests designed for Ubuntu
• Symlinks don't work on Windows

[Squadula]

Additional observations on Windows (using conda environment):

• Problems with multiprocessing
• Permission error: Multiple processes accessing interface.npy (solution: zeroMQ?)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new python3.9 conda environment (profit_env)
2. Download required packages for profit from README.md via Anaconda
3. Download additional packages via conda cmd prompt: Chaospy, GPy
4. Download profit via pip according to this guide. Used commands:

   conda install -n profit_env pip
   conda activate profit_env
   pip install profit

5. Install git according to this article
6. Set up conda in git bash (see here)

   profit --help

   

7. In examples/mockup/study folder:

   profit --help

Robert suggests: Test with zeromq (no interface file) and fork=false (no multiprocessing)

[Squadula]

Adding fork: false to the (local) runner and class: zeromq to interface in run in profit.yaml solves the problem.

Additionally the symbolic links were replaced with the actual files.
