Lili,
You will need to download and install 'g95' (
http://ftp.g95.org/)
first. Then, you can use the -cygwin flag in Amber's configure
program, to create the config.h for cygwin. Just follow the same
procedure as for installing Amber in other computers.
Now, if you only want some programs (I for one only installed
leap/xleap and ptraj locally), you can just comment the lines related
to other programs in the '$AMBERHOME/src/Makefile'.
