The problems I met during building of CERNLIB on CYGWIN are

• No configuration files for cygwin, and the file linux.cf doesn't work;
• Some file names are different from each other only in the character case;
• No re_comp, re_exec on CYGWIN;
• Some files need 'linux' to be defined in the 'cpp' stage, but some don't.

Whatever, those problems can be easily solved by introducing some patches. I put all the patches in a single tar file. In advance of the installation, download the following files:

• The LAPACK source (better use 3.1.1 or newer) at http://www.netlib.org/lapack/;
• The CERNLIB sources at http://cern.ch/cernlib/download/2005_source/tar/ (don't use versions prior to 2004). An easier way for the download is to use the command
  wget -r -np http://cern.ch/cernlib/download/2005_source/tar/
  to get all the CERNLIB sources in one go;
• The patches for CYGWIN in a tar+gz file (in fact, they are not patch files, because the tar file simply overwrites some files in the CERNLIB source repository): cernlib2005_cygpatch.tgz;
• A shell script for making all the libraries/executables build_cernlib.

After downloading these files, please move all the tar+gz files (with the suffix '.tar.gz' or '.tgz') to a same directory (e.g., 'src/' or 'tar/' or './' of current directory), and put the file 'build_cernlib' in current directory. After that, run './build_cernlib 0' (run './build_cernlib' without any argument for help) and wait, finally you will get the CERNLIB compiled.

Please note that the cernlib2005.tgz includes all CERNLIB libraries, I didn't split them as what have been done on CERNLIB webpage. For other packages, such as 'include', 'share', please find and download them at CERNLIB webpage. Those packages should be same for all platforms. For safe, please use the ones for RedHat Linux.
