I hv read the Developer's  guide and  through my Cygwin, I hv already 
gcc,gdb,flex,make,bash,python,perl,sed,bison,flex,diff,patch  tools.
Also,  when I do a
 $ gtk-config --version
1.2.10
$ glib-config --version
1.2.10
This means that  gtk+and Glib  libraries  are also  installed. But still , I 
get the same error.

Pls  help me in building WS  in  Windows  Cygwin platform
---Thanks
