Installing Matlab: 

-Make sure that when you install Matlab, you choose C:\MATLAB\R2011b as directory 
for the installation. Failing to do so could preclude the sdk compiler from 
finding the Matlab header files. 

-Also pay attention to what version of Matlab you are using, 32 or 64 bits, 
as this will need to be reflected onto the sdk compiler settings. 

Win7: 
-Be sure to use an account name that does not have spaces in it, as this could be an 
issue with Cygwin. 


Cygwin: 

-You will need cygwin installed on your Windows platform to manage the compilation. 
The compilation will still be carried out by the windows sdk compiler, but the 
environment driving the compilation will be the unix-like cygwin. When you download
cygwin, make sure that you install it in the C:\Cygwin directory. 

-You will find the cygwin setup executable on the www.cygwin.com webpage. Here is a link
to it: http://cygwin.com/setup.exe. Download this file to C:\cygwin and be sure to reuse 
it when you want to update your current cygwin installation. Do not download setup.exe 
twice! 

- You will need the following packages downloaded to carry out the compilation of ISSM
 successfully, so be sure to include them in your cygwin install: 

subversion
autotools
automake
vim (or any other editor)



Compiler: 

you will need the Windows SDK 7.1 compiler, which you can find at the following link
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=8279
This compiler is compatible with Matlab, as detailed in the following webpage: 
http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2011b/win64.html#n2


Downloading issm: 

Download issm onto the C:\ directory. Do not download it in your Documents or Desktop
folder. 

In cygwin: 
cd /cygdrive/c/
svn co http://issm.ess.uci.edi/svn/issm/issm
