<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I am doing exactly the same thing as you want. I believe your
problem is in keeping your worlds (Windows/Cygwin) straight. It appears that
you have installed minimals “inside” cygwin (depending on whether your /usr
directory is your cygwin /usr directory).</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I installed minimals “normally”, as it is a Windows application.
I ran the context setups from Windows. Then I can build with no problems from
within cygwin by running the minimals cmd files (although you must specify the
extension from within cygwin). I did not have to modify any files at all.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">So far, no problems. Just remember to keep your path information
in “Windows” format, not cygwin.</span></p>
