You lack the 'minires-devel' package most likely.

That sounds like maybe you have the switch spelled wrong.  Check the
output of "./configure --help" to see what the script accepts.

If that's not it and it's a libtool issue, it could be worth a try to
relibtoolize, or just autoreconf, the package to regenerate the
'configure' and 'libtool' (and possibly many other) files using Cygwin's
autoconf/libtool/automake.  You'll need the -devel versions of those
three packages.  "autoreconf --install --force --verbose" is often the
sledgehammer of first attack if a package won't build.  No guarantees
that this will help though.  It may take some digging around in the
configure.in to see what's going on.
