Dear Elie, Did you compile PWSCF in cygwin or are you trying to use a precompiled binary? The binaries compiled are not interoperable between different kernels (i.e. you can not copy a binary from "linux" to "windows"), and CYGWIN is just a compilation of GNU tools for windows kernel, it is not "linux".
If you want to use precompiled "linux" binaries in "windows" environment there are distros that emulate linux kernel under windows kernel. One example is cooperative linux, (http://www.colinux.org/). The results are not guaranteed, and not very performing to say the least, but I used to compile pwscf 3.x in it for people with a strong preference of windows desktop. Please notice that that this kind of virtualization is not officially supported by PWSCF, and you may end up with strange errors. I strongly suggest you using a proper linux kernel for production.
