If your code is cross-platform and will build on Linux, I'd recommend running a VM on your Windows box that has Linux in it, and do a Linux/make/gcc build of your project before doing cygwin stuff. It'll be faster for one thing, and less frustrating for a second thing. You can do cygwin, if you must... you should use a cygwin-built CMake if you must. Perhaps someone else will chime in with detailed instructions.
