Yu-Cheng Chou, if you need MPI that work with VC++, try MPICH
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/ It works well if what you intend to
do is not complex.
If you intend to use lam-mpi under cygwin environment, then you have to plow
the path Tim Prince suggested or simply use g++. If all you need is a good
editor for cygwin, then try xemacs. It is quite matured and does a lot. If
your interest is in the debugger interface, then try Insight/GDB debugger
binaries. Insight has been in the works since '94 and is pretty reliable as
well -
Have fun...

Cygwin .a files should work the same as 32-bit Windows .lib files. If you
are using a 64-bit Windows, you would need to extract the .o files from a
cygwin .a file (not a Unix or linux .a file) and use lib to build a 64-bit
library. I'm not certain it makes sense to use VC++; why not use g++
? If your code is so non-standard that g++ won't take it, you may have
other problems.
