Cygwin current cmake is 3.31.3.
It looks like you are running a Windows cmake.
Try:

$ which -a cmake
/usr/bin/cmake
$ ls -Ggl /bin/cc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 7 Aug  2  2024 /bin/cc -> gcc.exe

Are you running from a Cygwin terminal+/-shell, did you run Cygwin.bat, or set 
up a DOS/cmd environment with Cygwin bin at the start of your PATH?

You should also be using Cygwin paths not DOS/Windows device paths, which may 
not work with Cygwin tools.

If you want to work in the Windows environment and do Windows builds, try Msys2.
