(You can probably build for OS/X,  too,\nbut I've not heard any reports on that recently.) I've not\ngotten around to documenting the Windows build process yet;  I\njust provide the aforementioned pre-built EXEs.  Sadly,  the\nWindows builds require the Microsoft compiler,  due to an\nunfortunate early choice to use MFC.\n\nYou can [click here for directions on building Find_Orb from\nthe source in this repository.](https://projectpluto.com/find_sou.htm).\n\nAs is described at the above link,  this project depends on three\nof my other projects :\n\n- [`jpl_eph`](https://github.com/Bill-Gray/jpl_eph) (code to read JPL ephemerides)\n- [`sat_code`](https://github.com/Bill-Gray/sat_code) (code for Earth-orbiting satellite ephemerides)\n- [`lunar`](https://github.com/Bill-Gray/lunar) (basic astronomical ephemeris/time functions)\n\nAt some point,  I'll probably document the build procedure for\nWindows,  but it does appear that most Windows users just want\npre-built executables.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbill-gray%2Ffind_orb","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbill-gray%2Ffind_orb","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbill-gray%2Ffind_orb/lists"}
