I think it will still work if you avoid using the latest version of
GCC in Cygwin.  The Cygwin folks decided to no longer provide MinGW
compatibility with that version.

Unless you tell us *which* problems you encountered, there's not much
help we could get you, sorry.  Basically, the tools you need are:

. compiler
. yacc (byacc or bison) and lex (flex)
. optionally libusb-win32, if you want USB support

For the latter, you either have to copy over the usb.h and libusb.a
files into the MinGW tree from the libusb-win32 installation
directory, or you have to set the environment variables CPPFLAGS (for
the -I option to the C preprocessor) and LDFLAGS (-L option for the
linker) at the time when you run ./configure, so configure can
instruct the compile and linker to find libusb-win32.
