Dear friends:
I download a Matrix library "MET" from http://met.sourceforge.net/. I want to compile it under windows system.
I download the MinGw.
when i excute the following command, it give the me the following errors:

G:\met>make
g++  -Icommon  -o xpr1Test xpr1Test.C -lm
In file included from vecmat.h:35:0,
                 from xpr1Test.C:6:
xpr1.h:31:22: fatal error: iostream.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [xpr1Test] Error 1

it can not find the iostream.h, Could you please give me some suggestiong about this.
need i to edit the make file? and how to compile the software designed for linux system in windows system?
the make file is as follows:

# -*- Makefile -*-
#
#  include ${HOME}/makehead/make$(EXT)

LINKOPT=-lm

FORTLINK=-lg2c

The copyright on MET claims 2001. No wonders.
There's no such thing as iostream.h anymore. It is obsoleted.

Your options are:
1. Find some fairly old compiler (they say gcc version 2.95 works... good luck with it)
2. Audit the code and get it up to the standard
3. Dump it altogether
Since MET was unmaintained for 10 years, I'd recommend Option 3.

Dear friend:
Thank you very much for you kindly help. Could you please suggest a matrix library for me which can be easily used in windows system.
Regards
