I am compiling VIC5.0.0 in windows 7 using cygwin, it gives error message when I give make commmand. The error is- fatal error: execinfo.h: No such file or directory What could be the issue and how to solve it. Thanks

It would seem you are missing the execinfo.h header in your environment. You should note VIC is not supported on Windows at this time and we don't test builds with cygwin so I wouldn't be surprised if you run into problems here. You may consider trying Docker instead, which we have found to work on Windows machines in the past.
