Are you sure it is failing?  If the last few lines of cmake output are

-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: <a disk location>

then cmake worked despite any error messages concerning missing/bad
compilers.  For this case
you should just continue with running the "make" command afterward.

Responding to your specific question, phobos and tango
are D-related libraries.   See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language).

So it appears from your remarks and my own searches of Cygwin packages
that Cygwin does not yet support the D language.  In that case, our
build system should produce a cmake error message that is actually
non-consequential because it is followed by a warning message that D
will be disabled and a continuation of the rest of the configuration
with a successful outcome as above.  But if you want to quiet that
error message about D, then specifically disable D beforehand by using
the -DENABLE_d=OFF cmake option for an initially empty build tree.

This is also a pretty good general rule; if some component of PLplot
is giving trouble, look for corresponding ENABLE_* options in the
CMakeCache.txt file, and turn that component off on the cmake command
line as, for example, in the D case above.
