 Dear Mr./Mrs.,

 I encountered some difficulties when installing the program on my Windows
 10 machine with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.

 The steps I followed are described in the Ipopt documentation
 (http://web.mit.edu/ipopt_v3.11.6/doc/documentation.pdf), section 2.5.2,
 'installation with Cygwin using the MSVC++ comipler'. At the moment, I'm
 planning to use the free Blas, Lapack and HSL versions, as described in
 the same document.

 When I run ./configure --enable-msvc=MD, I receive the message: Main Ipopt
 configuration succesful.

 After the successful configuration, I compile the code with make.
 Apparently, the third party packages Blas, Lapack and HSL are compiling
 fine, but Ipopt itself fails:

 make[ 1 ]: Entering directory: 'home/LaurentK/Ipopt/Ipopt'

 make[ 1 ]: * * * No rule to make target 'all'.  Stop.

 make[ 1 ]: Leaving directory 'home/LaurentK/Ipopt/Ipopt'

 make: * * * [all-recursive] Error 1

 How should I proceed in this case?

 Kind regards,
 Laurent Keersmaekers
