OK, so your version of config.guess is so old that the URL for
updating it is now a dead end. There is a README in that directory
that tells you where to get the latest versions, but I'll give you a
hint :-)

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub

Please let the ROMS maintainers know that they need to update these
scripts in their tree. The ones in their tree could be carbon dated.

Cheers, Ben

Installation of netcdf in cygwig64 for the installation of ROMS

[(pg) Adrian Senar]

Hello,

I am trying to install the ocean modelling software ROMS and one of the 
prerequisites is installing netcdf via cygwin64 following the steps shown in 
'https://www.myroms.org/wiki/ROMS_Cygwin#Install_NetCDF'. In the process I 
obtained the following error:

Adrian@LAPTOP-1M0U3VET ~/software/netcdf-3.6.1
$ CC=gcc FC=gfortran-4 F77=gfortran-4 CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran ./src/configure

configure: netCDF 3.6.1
checking build system type... ./src/config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2003-10-03, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/

If the version you run (./src/config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to  in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

config.guess timestamp = 2003-10-03

uname -m = x86_64
uname -r = 3.1.4(0.340/5/3)
uname -s = CYGWIN_NT-10.0
uname -v = 2020-02-19 08:49

/usr/bin/uname -p = unknown
/bin/uname -X =

hostinfo   =
/bin/universe  =
/usr/bin/arch -k   =
/bin/arch  = x86_64
/usr/bin/oslevel   =
/usr/convex/getsysinfo =

UNAME_MACHINE = x86_64
UNAME_RELEASE = 3.1.4(0.340/5/3)
UNAME_SYSTEM  = CYGWIN_NT-10.0
UNAME_VERSION = 2020-02-19 08:49
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one


It says to contact this email address in case of trouble, can you give me a 
hand?

Best regards
