Hi Larry, Thanks for your response, I am using the PGI compiler's bash shell, which I am told uses cygwin, but i may be way off. I do have a plain cygwin as well with the make module, and I get the same errors. I am assuming that what I am trying to do is simple for Cygwin, take a linux makefile and compile it through cygwin onto windows, is there extra synax I need to use for cross-compiling?
