Caveat: I'm no expert on cmake, just a long time cygwin user.

I'm assuming we're talking about _Cygwin_ cmake, not some Windows tool.
If it's a Windows tool, I'd check the Windows path, and of course you
should be getting at a Windows C compiler for cc.

So, if cmake is a cygwin version, things I would check:

1) Is (cygwin) /c linked to /cygdrive/c?  That would be so that /c/...
    is meaningful.

2) Is your compiler called cc, or something else, like gcc?  Using the
    CC environment variable, as you later did, seems a good idea, but is
    the C compiler actually where you said, i.e., /bin?  I think /usr/bin
    might be more conventional, but they may be the same directory.

3) I would write:
    cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" /c/Users/somia/Downloads/libjpeg-turbo-3.1.1/
    That is, use a _cygwin_ style path, not a Windows style one when invoking
    a cygwin tool.  Using a Windows path _might_ work.  (Personally, I would
    not build in the Downloads area, but that's more personal taste I suppose.)

4) Maybe you want to set CMAKE_C_COMPILER ?
