SimGrid only uses very standard tools:
@li C compiler, C++ compiler, make and friends.
- @li perl (but you may try to go without it) and libpcre (but we are

@li We use cmake to configure our compilation
(<a href="http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html">download page</a>).
You need cmake version 2.8 or higher. You may want to use ccmake
On Windows, it is strongly advised to use the

compilers by issuing these commands before launching cmake:

Another way to do so is to use the -D argument of cmake as follows.

Cmake can produce several kind of of makefiles. Under Windows, it has
no way of determining what kind you want to use, so you have to hint it:
