Is there a separate Windows package for GNUMP?

[Akhil Anilkumar Kalathungal]

Hello,

I realized that it was due to my dumbness.
I downloaded the 5.1.1 version and extracted in Windows 7 and tried all the
commands from cygwin.
Seems to be working now.
May be earlier I copied a pre compiled version from Ubuntu to Windows. I
apologize for the inconvenience.


Thank You,
Akhil
