I tried to build R-2.14.0 on cygwin using the commands:

I started to get a whole lot of errors starting with:

undefined reference to `_R_InputHandlers'

I'm aware that there is a cygwinports ports, but it seems outdated, and when I
tried installing it, it was very lengthy and seemed more trouble that it was
worth. I abandoned the installation attempt.
Any tips on a way forward?
As far as I can tell, what is happening to you is that cygwin needs special
configuration to build .dll libraries and ./configure does not know how to set
that up.
R is not officially supported under Cygwin. Basically, we - er, Brian, mostly,
I think - tried it several years ago, and it broke so many times that patience
ran out.
Others seem to be having better luck with recent versions (Google finds
something that looks like ports of 2.13.2, so you might just need a little
patience to get 2.14.0), but I think you're altogether better off over on
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cygwin-ports-general
Or much simpler: use the native version.
