I have installed Cygwin already 4 times, not always without problems.
But I always took the latest cygwin from the web via setup.exe. See http://ecos.sourceware.org/cygwin.html
Make sure to select the needed packages.
Restart your PC after having installed cygwin.
Then download the config tool SW from www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/configtool.shtml. I put it in:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH ; export PATH
Unzip gnutools.tgz to /cygwin/opt/ (in my case for ARM platform):
PATH=/opt/ecos/gnutools/arm-elf/bin:$PATH ; export PATH
Add the paths and also ECOS_REPOSITORY in your .bashrc.
Success,
