You shouldn't have to do this. Perhaps cygwin is not setup properly. Also cygwin notation is /usr/bin - not C:\cygwin64\bin Are you running the commands in 'mintty' terminal or 'cmd' terminal? > and also tried to run ./configure --with-cc='win32fe icl' --with-fc='win32fe > ifort' --with-cxx='win32fe icl' --with-make=/cygdrive/cygwin64/bin.
