[MOAB-dev] MOAB in Windows (Cygwin/Msys) does not compile

[Manuel Torrilhon]

Dear MOAB team,

I enjoy using MOAB for my pde simulation code. I have good experiences with
MOAB under Ubuntu, Centos and MacOS, but I have difficulties to compile it
in a Windows environment using either Cygwin or Msys unix emulation. Both
give the compilation error listed below, which I don't understand.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Manuel
