I don't think that this is a Cygwin problem. The OP indicated that he used "MinGW latest version". IMHO, line endings should not be a problem with MinGW. Maybe he should _not_ copy the Makefiles, because this is an obsolete step for MinGW now, and autoconf etc. works for MinGW, but since I don't use MinGW, I hope that someone else can tell better. > Any Cygwin user out there who knows what exactly was required? There are some usual issues: Don't use a Windows tool (like winzip) to extract the files from the tarball, because this would make CR/LF line endings. Use dos2unix (or d2u) to convert line endings to unix (LF only) style.
