Do you mean that you reconfigured without MPI and with CUDA? You don't
need to uninstall anything to enable/disable configuration options,
just clean your build directory and rerun CMake in it.

Good question, I've no idea whether it can as I myself have never
built GROMACS with CUDA on cygwin neither have I heard of anyone else
do that. What I can safely state is that the native Win builds with
non-cygwin CMake and MSVC as a compiler do work with with a variety of
generators: nmake, ninja, and VS.

However, it would be very useful to know whether/how it is possible to
detect CUDA with CMake a build GROMACS with GPU acceleration on
cygwin. Perhaps someone else on the list with more cygwin experience
could help out with tips or even try to build with CUDA.

The whitespaces will need special treatment, AFAIR putting quotes
around the path (or simply copying the directory to C:\CUDA) should
work. Alternatively, you could try to put nvcc in your path, than
CMake should be able to do the path handling magic.
