Re: Installation with root privilage: can't download Intel Fortran F90 compiler

It won't work because Cygwin is not a Linux emulator. There are no

a Windows version of the Intel Fortran compiler or you could use a
virtual machine (e.g. VirtualBox) / Co-operative Linux to run a full
Linux session under Windows.


There is nothing strange about installing Windows ifort in accordance with instructions (not using cygwin), then using cygwin as a build environment to run ifort, at least for 32-bit builds. For 64-bit builds, some work-arounds are needed, as cygwin tools like ar and link don't work.
