Hello, some time back I ran into problems with building PLplot under Cygwin that I could not solve. The problem was that certain files, generated by the build process, were unuseable because of the file permissions they got, essentially: no access at all.
This was a showstopper and I figured it was CMake that was to blame (the CMake mailing list did not provide an answer on this problem). However, it also occurred in a project that uses autotools. Via the Cygwin mailing list I found the cause: the file permissions for the sources are "----------" (as reported by ls under Cygwin), though I could still read them and change them. Apparently there was a mismatch between the Windows file permissions and the Cygwin file permissions. When the build process running under Cygwin copied these files for configuration, the severely restricted permissions got translated into _equivalent_ Windows permissions and that made it impossible to read or change the files. Now that I know this, I can correct it. The build process still fails, but it fails on the paths for the Tcl include files - C:/Tcl/include/... Cygwin's make does not like the colon in the path. So, still some stuff to examine, but at least I can now make progress.
