Cygwin (PGI Workstation) 11.10

Cygwin (PGI Workstation) by The Portland Group (PGI) is a Windows-based compatibility layer and toolset that provides a Linux-like environment tailored for use with PGI’s Fortran, C, and C++ compilers. It supplies a curated set of POSIX utilities, shells, and build tools so developers can build, run, and maintain makefile- and script-driven projects on Windows without rewriting them for native Windows tooling.

Key benefits:

• Seamless UNIX-style workflow on Windows: Use familiar shells and utilities (for example, bash and make) to compile and manage projects with PGI compilers.
• Easier porting from Linux/UNIX: Minimize code and build-system changes when bringing scientific and HPC applications to Windows.
• Consistent toolchain integration: Environment setup and paths are aligned to work smoothly with PGI Workstation installations.
• Scripting and automation: Run shell scripts and common POSIX command-line tools to streamline testing and continuous integration on Windows.

Notes:

• Package contents may vary by PGI release; it is not a complete Cygwin distribution.
• Intended to complement PGI Workstation on Windows; it does not replace a native Linux environment.
• Cygwin is an independent open-source project; PGI provides and configures it here for developer convenience.
