But do you need F2C itself or you need to compile F77 programs ? - Cygwin from the box has 'g77' (of gcc 3.4 installation) which can be used to compile F77 programs. - Probably your old F2C program was run on windows without the Cygwin in past. It is possible it will be easier to use MinGW (www.mingw.org) for compilation in such case, and then put your f2c.DLL into c:\windows32\system or something like (I don't remember where exactly it is and I don't currently have access to Windows) from where it will be picked up automatically on your program loading. - I am sure you can compile and lynk F2C based programs on Cygwin, but in order to know how do you link f2c.DLL to cygwin's GCC compiled program you probably have to ask on Cygwin's mailing list (http://cygwin.com/lists.html) .
