I didn't do anything other than tell you what you should have been able to
glean from the web. Sorry if I sound sarcastic, but it is the little things
like not following directions that make me less inclined to sound polite in my
replies. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html explains this
quite succinctly: "What we are, unapologetically, is hostile to people who seem
to be unwilling to think or to do their own homework before asking questions.
People like that are time sinks — they take without giving back, and they waste
time we could have spent on another question more interesting and another
person more worthy of an answer."

Not when the DIRECTIONS at http://cygwin.com/problems.html, which I ALREADY
referred you to, state, in bold font:
# Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an attachment
in your report. Please do not compress or otherwise encode the output. Just
attach it as a straight text file so that it can be easily viewed.
