	Juan Pablo,

		Attached you'll find some notes I wrote some time ago when I compiled 
dftb+ in my notebook under cygwin using g95. Note that you need to 
install some libraries first. I didn't check that instructions with the 
later snapshot, so pay attention to point 4 in the text file.
		Hope this helps.
		Regards,

						Reinaldo
