Installation of dolfin-1.3.0 in Windows (cygwin)

Asked by Richard

I tried to build dolfin (v 1.3.0) from source on Windows (cygwin). I successfully installed petsc, boost, and other dependencies. Configuration for dolfin was also successful.
However on executing make, the error message shown below appears on the first file that is compiled. It seems to be an error related to use of C++, in particular on the expressions used with an _.
For example the complains about the _ in _L, calling it an "expected unqualified-id before numeric constant"
boost::shared_ptr<const Form> _L;
However I have used the boost::shared_ptr in other codes including expressions like _L without any issues.
Has this error been seen before? Also do you support running on fenics on Cygwin? This seems to be a simple problem to fix but have not been able to fix it. Any suggestions will be helpful.
