Later on you mention that "that program" is "BigDFT
<http://inac.cea.fr/L_Sim/BigDFT/>". This appears to be a package
distributed in source form. So now you have get it and build it. The
build instructions mention nothing about Cygwin at all.
I would highly recommend you contact the developers of BigDFT and ask if
they have considered porting it to Cygwin.
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.
