Well, drand48 is the least of your problems. Both VS2005 and VS2008 can't produce usable code. I've got it to the point that main application will compile, but it core dumps with the casting operators I wrote (though 2008 had built in ones, so I'm not sure why it didn't work - Solomon?).

Anyway, on windows you will likely have to use the intel compiler. CMake supports nmake builds as well, which is what we have been using.

If you must have something, we have two different random number generators, CheapRNG (linear congruential generator) and MT_RNG (mersenne twister).

I'll see if I can get something in there soon. I've been spending time trying to get our regression tests running on our 8 core opteron machine.

Both of these throw errors under vs05 because win32 doesn't support them. Can an alternative be used?
