STEP BY STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO install GSL on WINDOWS for later use in fortran (through FGSL)

[Abdulwahab Mubaraq]

Dear team,

My name is Mubaraq, and I am a PhD student who is working on modeling
project that involves some complex computations. I transitioned a model
from R to Fortran due to performance concerns that hindered the efficiency
of the original model being to slow in R. Within this Fortran environment,
I am in need of robust root-finding algorithms. While exploring, I came
across the fact that GSL root-finding tools has such potentials and its
use with modern Fortran through fgsl. I learnt that I need to install GSL
and then generate a static library which will then be used with fgsl.
Regarding the installation of GSL and generating the static/dynamic
library, I have been attempting to install GSL with my Windows utilizing
cmake for a while now; unfortunately, I have not succeeded in doing so yet
I keep getting error that GSL cannot find cmake files from the installation
folder.

My primary objective remains the creation of a self-contained model,
thereby sparing users the need of recurrently downloading and installing
the root solver. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate
comprehensive documentation outlining a step-by-step guide on downloading
GSL in windows and linking it with other code components. Could you kindly
point me towards such documentation, if it exists?

I am eagerly anticipating your response and thankful for your response in
advance.
Best regards,
Mubaraq
