If necessary, you can ensure that cygserver is running in your cygport 
file - I need to do this when running the Poco testsuite. Something like 
this ought to do the trick, derived from my 'poco.cygport':


src_compile() {
    # See if the 'cygserver' service exists.
    if [ "0" == "$(cygrunsrv --list | grep -i cygserver | wc -l)" ]; then
        error "cygserver is not configured to run as a service. Please 
run 'cygserver-config'."
    fi

    # Get the name of the 'cygserver' service. By default, this will be
    # 'cygserver', but there is some debate about postfixing this with
    # '-32' or '-64' for the different architectures. The line below
    # should work it out.
    local cygserver=$(cygrunsrv --list | grep -i cygserver | head 
--lines=1)

    # If the 'cygserver' service isn't running then start it now.
    local cygsvrstate=$(cygrunsrv -Q "${cygserver}" | grep -i 'current 
state' | sed 's/\s//g' | cut -d ':' -f 2)
    if [ "${cygsvrstate}" != "Running" ]; then
        cygrunsrv -S "${cygserver}"
    fi

    # At this point, 'cygserver' is running.
    # Insert your code to './configure' and 'make' here...

    # If we started the 'cygserver' service above then stop it now.
    if [ "${cygsvrstate}" != "Running" ]; then
        cygrunsrv -E "${cygserver}"
    fi
}


Hope this is helpful,

Dave.
