Newbie help compiling ATLAS

["Studious Apprentice" <apprentice_99 at hotmail dot com>]

Hello to all!

I would like to compile ATLAS on windows thanks to the cygwin environment 
however I get some weird answers from the make programs...

I have installed cygwin with the GCC package on Windows XP service pack 2. I 
am running the following commands:

export BUILD_DIR=~/builds
export ATLAS_SRC=$BUILD_DIR/src/ATLAS
mkdir -p $ATLAS_SRC
cd $ATLAS_SRC/..
wget 
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/math-atlas/atlas3.6.0.tar.gz
tar xzf atlas3.6.0.tar.gz
cd $ATLAS_SRC
make xconfig
./xconfig

I enter the most common values in the setup program and then it stops, 
outputting :
"Storing L1 cache size of 64KB.
Unable to store L1CacheSize, aborting."
as if the program were not able to create the file.

The make file log shows these lines :

rm -f 
/home/Thyfate/builds/src/ATLAS/tune/sysinfo/WinNT_PIIISSE2/res/L1CacheSize
echo 16 > 
/home/Thyfate/builds/src/ATLAS/tune/sysinfo/WinNT_PIIISSE2/res/L1CacheSize
/bin/sh: 
/home/Thyfate/builds/src/ATLAS/tune/sysinfo/WinNT_PIIISSE2/res/L1CacheSize: 
No such file or directory
make: *** [ISetL1] Error 1

Is this related to some file permissions possibilities?

I already managed to get the config program to run till the end using mingw 
instead of gcc and then I noticed two other problems :

- a Make.inc shortcut created by the config program cannot be found by the 
make program. Though the shortcut is in the directory it looks in, it does 
not find the file ("No such file or directory")
- when I replace the shortcut with the real file, gcc (not the mingw one, 
the cygwin one) can not be found by the make utility : /usr/bin/gcc can be 
run from the command line but the make file outputs an error message 
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/gcc No such file or directory

Thanks in advance for your help, I do not know where to start looking for 
help !
