From the very first page of http://cygwin.com/ :
What...
...is it?
Cygwin is:
- a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.
- a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality.
Ability to compile programs is almost a byproduct of ability to compile itself.

If you want to compile native Windows programs, Cygwin is likely not the
tool you need.
