Long ago (more than 10 years ago)
First octave build on windows was done on Cygwin.
I had been concerning octave build on Cygwin at certain period (about 2 years).

Marco has been maintained Cygwin version of octave for long term
with his extensive efforts.

The way of build on Cygwin is fundamentally the same as on unix systems.
