Unforturnately, that's already the point at which you strayed from the
optimum path. Cygwin provides, to the best of everyone's ability, an
entire Unix _environment_. And that means you'll usually have to enter
that environment, not just pick things out of it from the outside.
In other words: no, the Cygwin bin directory should not usually be in
your Windows PATH. It can be done that way with sufficient insight into
the consequences, but you should stay away from that can of worms for now.

Actually, no such translation would have been necessary. The general
idea is that you would be doing this from inside the Cygwin console
environment (i.e. click on that icon the installer created), and then
such original Unix command lines will actually just work, without your
needing to translate anything.

That was a wrong move.
Unless you exactly know what you are doing, and ready for the consequences,
adding Cygwin bins to windows PATH is a recipe for disaster.

No, it is exactly ./configure && make, no translation.

It means you have to set the environment to a value. This is not Cygwin
specific.

This has nothing to do with compiling at all, just the general Linux usage.
Try
cd simp
MROOT="$(dirname "$(pwd)")" make rs

Try a normal mail client.
