Support for MinGW and newer versions of NEURON?

[clausagerskov]

I am trying to compile an LEMS xml file with NEURON 8.0 installed on Windows 10 and am getting the following error message:

---

Unfortunately, jNeuroML doesn't currently support MinGW versions of NEURON. Try the Cygwin version of 7.3, e.g. nrn-7.3.i686-pc-cygwin-setup.exe

Is NEURON correctly installed?

Is this going to be supported some day?

See NeuroML/pyNeuroML#67 (comment). Unfortunately windows support is low priority for us due to lower demand from users of this OS...
