Correct. (I guess there will be a 64-bit Cygwin eventually, but there are no plans for it at the moment.) > The problem I have: I would like to build Atlas in Window - it works using > the 32bit version with cygwin-gcc.

Yep, sounds like a good use case for a hypothetical 64-bit Cygwin. > Is there any alternative to cygwin to run the configure script and the make? Yes, but they're obviously off-topic for this list. The mingw64 project may help with you that. I think the list would be interested in hearing what problems exactly you're having though. Your original message seemed to say that you had successfully used Cygwin's mingw64-x86_64 toolchain to build your program.
