Dear Sir,
 
I am very interested in the GSL library 
and prefer to use the library with MSVC 
on the Windows platforms. 
I have downloaded the newest version of 
it, gsl-0.9.4.tar.gz but I do not find any files or folders in the 
decompressed folder relating to MSVC. I am not sure that is the correct version 
for my purpose. Nor do I know what to do next. 
Shall I download some more files? 
Where? 
Will you please help solve my problem?
Thank you very much.
 
Sincerely,
Yang Cheng

Hi,
There is a Windows version at,

  http://www.network-theory.co.uk/gsl/

The tar file only contains the Unix version of GSL.

I expect so.

I don't know -- you would have to try building it and see if it works.
The workspace file is GSL.dsw, and is included in the distribution.
