I forgot to add 2.5:
If you actually need to cross-compile to get this built for Windows, then
you can't cross-compile from Linux to Windows using Windows. You have to
be on Linux to do that work. The result can then be used on Windows.

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?
thanks
