I can understand your confusion. I spent 5 minutes at the RRTM link you
provided and could not find hide nor hair of anything remotely resembling
documentation on how to build their software. I tried downloading one of
the source tarballs and came up with a link connection error. Obviously,
you were able to get beyond this and at least theoretically, you found
some such documentation somewhere to describe something about a build
process, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten as far as you did. So I can't
tell you much about how to build this package. I can, however, tell you
that:
1. Cygwin has no gmake command, only make.
2. Given 1, it's questionable that you're Cygwin environment, assuming
that's what you're using, is properly configured.
3. Your problems really sound like issues with the RRTM build process.
I'll hazard a guess that there aren't any RRTM experts or groupies
hanging out on this list so I'd say your best bet for help with
RRTM issues is the RRTM authors.
