1) create a symlink in Windows to solve the "Program Files" problem with the space:
from the win prompt:

mklink /D "C:\ProgramFiles\" "C:\Program Files"

2) in the cygwin PATH environment variable, replace paths containing "/cygdrive/c/Program Files" with "/cygdrive/c/ProgramFiles"

3) now there is an interesting error. the following line of the file "configure" (the one generated by "autogen")

if test "$ac_supports_python_ver != "True";

does't work because my system sets the variable ac_supports_python_ver to

$'True\r' (I don't know why...)

and so a possible workaround is to substitute the line with

if test $ac_supports_python_ver != $'True\r';

4) now I have the following error.

configure: error:

Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library has been

installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure,

via the LDFLAGS environment variable.

Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"

============================================================================

ERROR!

You probably have to install the development version of the Python package

for your distribution. The exact name of this package varies among them.

============================================================================

There is no file "conftest" in my folder... could it be a problem for the following instruction?

ac_compile='$CC -c $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS conftest.$ac_ext >&5'

Are you sure you updated your environment, i.e. restarted the shell, and
that the PATH is actually set? You should also remove the file
config.cache, if it exists.
