I used Cygwin bash for build.

I will explain how I build NTEmacs on Cygwin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, I installed Cygwin distribution fully. (not a real latest)
My Cygwin make version is 3.80. (latest is 3.81)

Second, I got header files and "dll"s, that I need, from
gnuwin32(http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html).

bash$ mkdir /src/emacs
bash$ mkdir /src/emacs/dll

Then, I put all the required files, header files and "dll"s, in the
/src/emacs/dll directory.

bash$ cd /src/emacs
bash$ wget ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-22.0.99.tar.gz
bash$ tar zxvf emacs-22.0.99.tar.gz

Then I made un-comment 3 lines in emacs-22.0.99/nt/gmage.defs.

-#ifeq "$(shell cygpath $(CURDIR))" "$(CURDIR)"
-#CURDIR                := $(shell cygpath -m $(CURDIR))
-#endif
+ifeq "$(shell cygpath $(CURDIR))" "$(CURDIR)"
+CURDIR         := $(shell cygpath -m $(CURDIR))
+endif

bash$ cd emacs-22.0.99/nt
bash$ ./configure.bat --with-gcc --no-cygwin --no-debug \
--prefix d:/cygwin/usr/local/emacs/22.0.99 \
--cflags -I/src/emacs/cvs/dll
bash$ make all
bash$ make install
bash$ cp /src/emacs/dll/*.dll /usr/local/emacs/22.0.99/bin
bash$ /usr/local/emacs/22.0.99/bin/emacs.exe &

Then emacs start to work very well.
