It won't work because Cygwin is not a Linux emulator. There are no
recent Linux emulators/translation layers for Windows and even if you
did use one the compiler would not generate Windows binaries. You need
a Windows version of the Intel Fortran compiler or you could use a
virtual machine (e.g. VirtualBox) / Co-operative Linux to run a full
Linux session under Windows. How to do any of this is off-topic for
this mailing list.
