Is it an issue with installation on windows. Because it worked smoothly on MaC but giving problems on windows

1. The initial error occurs with mat_decomp.h, which I changed using explicit type casting under the std::max

(xfac-test) (xfac-test) PS C:\Users\kumara98\OneDrive - moodys.com\Desktop\xfac-test2\xfac> cmake --build build -j 4

2. I still face warning (and not errors) after this change.

3. But ultimately, I am not able to import xfacpy and it gives me error:

   os.chdir("c:\Users\kumara98\OneDrive - moodys.com\Desktop\xfacpy\xfac\build\python")
   os.listdir()

Dear @ajaykumarmoodys,
Thanks for your feedback! We have not tested the compilation on Windows, but now that you are interested in, we will.
We first need to check that armadillo works, as they provide particular lapack/blas libraries for Windows (see here). Probably we need to adapt our cmake accordingly.
Kind regards,
Yuriel
