math.h is a standard C header file; there is no need to specify any specific 
include path for it if your C compiler is installed correctly. For what it’s 
worth, math.h should be in /usr/include within your Cygwin installation; e.g, 
if you have installed Cygwin in C:\Cygwin, it should be in 
C:\Cygwin\usr\include\math.h. For what it’s worth, this question is not 
igraph-specific at all, so you may get more specific responses on the Cygwin 
mailing lists.

You *may* have to specify “-lm” on the command line, although I’m not sure 
whether that’s necessary with Cygwin’s C compiler -- some compilers link to the 
math library automatically.

That’s not Cygwin’s math.h; it belongs to the MinGW suite that ships with 
CodeBlocks. It has nothing to do with Cygwin.
