If you want to compile the coupled version of Dune and XBeach under windows you need the following.

• Cygwin (including gfortran, gcc, libtool, automake, libfftw3-devel, libfftw3)
• MPICH2 source code release
• netcdf>=4.1 source code
• The following XBeach branches:
• trunk
• branches/esmf
• branches/dune/Muller
• branches/XD_XB_coupling

You can follow these steps:

• Install cygwin
• Compile MPICH2 using gfortran and make install (check if mpif90 is available)
• Compile netCDF using gfortran and make install (check if nc-config is available)
• Compile XBeach (--with-netcdf --without-mpi, mpi is not supported yet ), should generate a file called libxbeach.la
• Compile dune in branches/dune/Muller (should generate a file called libdune.la)
• Compile esmf (use settings like in settings under condition wl01485) (should generate a file called esmf.mod)
• Compile XD_XB_Coupling (double check the Makefile.am, to see if it uses the correct locations for the libraries that were made in the previous steps). (should generate a file called xdunexbeach)

Setting up a simulation:

• Create a directory with both dune and xbeach input (default.par, data/, params.txt)
• Create a coupler setup file (see examples in coupler directory)
• run xdunexbeach from the current directory.

Debugging:
Run the command path/to/xdunexbeachdir/libtool --mode=execute gdb path/to/xdunexbeachdir/xdunexbeach.
