Apologies for the length of what follows. I had problems getting the Ruurd's latest port (1.3.3) to reconfigure on a Windows XP system, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. On my system, if I do Edit | Reconfigure, textclass.lst gets clobbered and LyX subsequently refuses to start.
I have no such problems here on Win2k, it configures ok from the DOS window (not Cygwin's bash) when configure is run in D:\lyx\share\lyx (with the exception of the sed problem when creating LaTeXConfig.lyx).
It works regardless of Cygwin - I've tried with both D:\cygwin\bin in the path and without it.
Edit|Reconfigure from LyX does not work for me because Ruurd's configure.bat does not include the drive letter when setting the path to lyx\share\lyx\..\..\bin and when calling lyx\share\lyx\..\..\bin\sh.exe from a different drive, as is the case with my home directory.
The problem is solved by replacing the two instances of "%~p0" with "%~dp0" in configure.bat, and then the Cygwin directory shouldn't be reached because it's later in the path.
