Well, that would be the problem.  Do you have a "Cygwin" program as the result?
 You should follow the instructions for build on UNIX on for VC++ or Borland.

All you should need to do is

tar -zxvf mypkg-foo.tar.gz
cd mypkg-foo
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=/where/you/want/to/install
make
make check
make install

I typically use --prefix=/usr if I'm replacing a supplied utility after I've
made the proper backups.

Anybody interested in the stow package?

Regards,
