This seems pretty clear: you need to specify the compiler, almost certain
"gnu". That is, type this "./configure_openmpi gnu". (The convention
in Unix/Linux is that arguments inside "[]" brackets are optional, but
arguments not in brackets are mandatory.)

*However*: this is very unlikley to work. We don't support cygwin any more,
although you might get parts of AmberTools to work with the non-openmpi stuff.
Unless you are very experienced with cygwin, what you propose simply won't
work.

Generally, windows users can (a) install a virtual machine and run Amber using
Linux; or (b) upgrade to Windows 10 and follow the instructions here:
http://ambermd.org/install_amber.html. Neither option is all that hard, but
any serious attempt to run Amber in parallel should be under Linux or MacOS.

Cygwin doesn't use rpm files--those are for Linux. Cygwin has its own package
manager ("setup.exe").

(Aside: if there are intrepid Cygwin folks out there who successfully run
AmberTools under Cygwin, they can chime in here. But I'm still thinking
that doing that requires a lot of Unix knowledge, a lot of cygwin knowledge,
and a lot of patience.)
