Agreed. The usual advice: If PGI has source, there is a reasonable chance
it can be built under Cygwin unless it uses unusual OS features.
Other handy options include the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which is
still part of the Windows Insider Program, but is apparently moving toward
being a more standard Windows component, and of course virtual machines
such as VMWare or VirtualBox.
Some things may build with mingw, which (loosely speaking) is a suite of
Linux-like tools for building native Windows applications.
I'm sure others here can elaborate!
