I tried to add the CalculiX package to the mingw environment with PARDISO and spooles, unfortunately I received the following response [calculix-ccx: add new package by 3rav · Pull Request #19673 · msys2/MINGW-packages · GitHub](https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/19673#issuecomment-1880009379:) “Being fastest or modern doesn’t change the fact thet It’s proprietary, It’s unfortunate but since we have an open-source alternative the It’s the only way.” Maybe more people will convince them? Useful links, ready-made PARDISO .dll library package (just download and unpack the .whl archive): ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/calculix/original/2X/7/7971a21a1aaece1bacf9520b56444a2656d6fe5a.png) > **[mkl](https://pypi.org/project/mkl/)** > > Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library > **[mkl-include](https://pypi.org/project/mkl-include/)** > > Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library > **[intel-openmp](https://pypi.org/project/intel-openmp/)** > > Intel OpenMP\* Runtime Library ​ ---

It might be out of their hands. CCX’s GPLv2 says: “You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.” ---

I am not a fan of msys2. Like to compile directly under windows. ---

The more alternatives for solvers, the better. We often see problems related to solvers, especially with PastiX. But I don’t know how difficult it is to implement. ---

At least msys2/mingw specialists have already proposed the first compatibility fixes: in: `restartwrite.f` and `writeobj.f` > ---
