This one's easy. It's almost certainly looking for a running X server, of which there almost certainly isn't one.
I suggest you install the X.org packages, and then start XWin.exe .. (It's worth reading the documentation to decide how you want to start it, but I found that XWin.exe -multiwindow -emulate3buttons was useful (I use emu3buttons because the laptop I use it on only has 2 :( )

Just ensure that is the correct path to the file? I would be surprised if it was /cygdrive/c/tmp ... More likely is /cygdrive/c/cygwin/tmp/test.c .
Does that work?
