I am trying to include BFast into a library for automatic compilation of bioinformatics software (SMBL --https://github.com/karel-brinda/smbl). The main supported systems are Linux and MacOS but I try to make it work in CygWin as well because many developers and users have Windows-based laptops and for testing purposes, CygWin works well.
Nevertheless, for BFast I am getting the error below when I try to compile in CygWin. Is there any way how to compile it in CygWin?
Thanks.
