# NWChem FAQ ## Windows 32 How do I compile NWChem on Windows NT and Windows 98? How do I compile NWChem on Windows NT and Windows 98? The right target is `WIN32.` Before starting the compilation, you must have installed the Compaq Visual Fortran compiler (version 6.0 and 6.1 have been successfully tested) and the NT.MPICH library (http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~ashton/mpich.nt/ ). Then, you need to have defined this series of variables (that you can set in `autoexec.bat`)
    set NWCHEM_TOP=c:\nwchem
    set NWCHEM_TARGET=WIN32
    set MPI_INCLUDE=c:\PROGRA~1\ARGONN~1\MPICHN~1.4\SDK\INCLUDE
    set MPI_LIB=c:\PROGRA~1\ARGONN~1\MPICHN~1.4\SDK\lib
    set NWCHEM_EXTRA_LIBS=%MPI_LIB%\mpich.lib
To start the compilation, start the Microsoft makefile utility from the top level source directory by typing
    nmake
The name of the executable is `nw32.exe` NWChem | Capabilities | Platforms | Download | User's Manual | Programmer's Manual | Release Notes | FAQ Known Bugs | Support | Tutorial | Contributors | Benchmarks | Search | Mol Sci. Soft. Group | Citation Contact: NWChem Support Updated: February 22, 2005
