I agree with the previous poster. Phrases like "massively parallel electronic structure code" and etc suggest this is a large complex package probably making intensive use of *nix functionality. I suspect strongly doing a port would be a *big* project. My 2c: You'd probably be *far* better off getting access to a Linux system. If you absolutely must use Windows, running the program on a Linux virtual machine under Windows might work, but I would suspect that the program may very well require "serious" hardware and might not run effectively on a virtual machine. As noted previously, the build process looks a bit complex so I'd also suggest finding someone with Linux lnowledge to build and install the system.
