Dear Cygwin users and developers, I am trying to run some models based on the ROMS ocean modeling system. And although I mainly run such models on Linux supercomputing systems, I sometimes use Cygwin to make test runs. However, whenever I install Cygwin on a new PC, I often find that my set up on an older PC I had been using doesn't work properly. After looking deeper into the issues, it seems that proper compilation requires that the same fortran compiler (gfortran in this case) be used to compile the necessary components.
And as far as I understand, these components would mainly be: - zlib - hdf5 - netcdf - netcdf-fortran - openmpi As the gfortran compiler version number used for these different components is not indicated whenever I run cygwin setup-x86_64.exe, I am left to guess which version numbers for each to select. Of course, another option would be to accept the defaults for some components, and then compile my own version of say, netcdf, but this attempt almost always fails, and I'm not sure if this is due to conflicts with the already existing cygwin setup. Given the issues above, would anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on how to best achieve the setup I would like to have? I will greatly appreciate any help.
