I have run the PGI for windows Of course, Visual Studio compatible tools aren't link compatible with any cygwin tools, other than possibly, if not depending on run time library compatibility, the mingw ones. A few years ago, Lahey attempted to market commercial support for gfortran under cygwin, but I don't think it was successful, beyond implementing some important improvements in gfortran. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

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!
