I am a new user who is trying to use palabos on a windows 7 computer, by following the instructions on this page: http://www.palabos.org/documentation/userguide/getting-started.html#compilation-under-windows-and-under-many-other-oses-with-the-integrated-development-environment-code-blocks
As suggested on that page, i am using Code::blocks and minGW. (i would actually prefer eclipse, as that is what my research professor is using, but i do not know how to set that up.) However, when i attempt to compile the project, i get errors in the turbulence example, which is an issue as i need to use that one for my research. Here is the error output:
||=== Build: Release in Palabos (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|

Note that here was also an error in one of the header files regarding it not being able to find “isnull” despite cmath being installed, which i fixed by replacing that statement with “std::isnull”. Perhaps a similar namespace issue is what is causing the problem? Note that i only have around a year of coding experience (and all of that was using visual c++ or cygwin).
