Thank you Iain,

I will try to use your suggestions.

Basically all you need to do is all the -fopenmp flag to the compiler and linker, and link thread-aware versions of libraries e.g. FFTW.  There are examples in the cp2k/arch directory.

Add -D__parallel and -D__SCALAPACK to your DFLAGS, set FC and LD to your mpi compiler/wrapper (usually called mpif90), and add the scalapack library to LIBS.  Exactly what is needed depends on what MPI you have installed.  OpenMPI and MPICH are commonly used, if you have something else on Windows you might be a bit on your own, sorry!

I did some compilation of cp2k under cygwin getting serial binary (cp2k.sopt). It works nicely but for jobs like band(neb)-calculations is not able to use multicore processors. I will be very happy if someone can give me some hints.
