Generally speaking, putting cygwin stuff in your Windows environment
should be avoided.
I don't understand this comment at all: isn't cygwin precisely for
Windows environs? Besides, it's not my choice to use cygwin - I need to
use ATLAS and the install instructions I found for that say first
install cygwin. If anyone knows a better way to install ATLAS, please
share.
cygwin is best suited for running applications inside its own
environment. I tried to answer, as I didn't notice any replies. I
don't think anyone has wanted to spend the time trying to divine your
intentions by reading documentation which you say the author has
declined to support. You could be wanting to use ATLAS within cygwin,
built with cygwin compilers, in which case this list might be of some
assistance.
Even if you are using non-cygwin compilers, simply using cygwin make
etc. to run a Makefile, you really should try to set those compilers up
normally, minimize non-standard path settings, and make any changes you
require in the Makefile.
