Indeed I was talking about about the optimized BLAS library from sourceforge you had in mind, which I wanted to compile. But the problem is not specific to Atlas, but to the combination Cygwin/MinGW. The problem is that at least some helper programs (which have commands "hardcoded" inside) as well as the configure script (which passes file names as argument to programs) use cygwin-paths (e.g. "/home/am/atlas/somefile") which cannot be found. With commands, I simply meant the C-call system(...); If a program should be started (e.g. "./program.exe", where the dot says to search it within the current directory), a MinGW compiled program returns the error message that the command "." cannot be found (which is the same as for the windows cmd.exe).
