[gmx-users] Runtime need of cpp.exe

[Utkal Ranjan Pradhan]

.. OK.
Again, the shipping Win32 version of cpp.exe is perfectly working with
Gromacs 64-bit on a opetron m/c which is a x86-64 box.
But I guess it (the above cpp.exe) may not work on pure x64 m/c as its not a
valid x64 application.
Is there a x64 port of cpp.exe is available ?
Can we use other (native windows) c preprocessor ?
 
Sorry, if I'm making silly queries.
 
Thank you
 
 
 
Hi Utkal,
 
Cpp.exe is called by grompp to preprocess the topology.
