ok i downloaded cygwin and EVERY SINGLE PACKAGE available. i type tar zf new.tar and then extracted everything. i then proceeded to goto the src folder and type "make" then after lots of scrolling, i get

undefined reference to `_WinMain@16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [merc] Error 1


and if i try to type ./startup &
i get

$ limit: Command not found.
limit: Command not found.

You didn't say which mud server you be compiling.

Well you only need a handful of packages.  The linkage error can be a number of things, windows compiler options turn on, -mno-cygwin, -mwindows, not invoking make from cygwin shell, fudged up your profile so it doesn't export MAKE_MODE=unix, or most likely have NO main() program in your link which means your compile produced errors compiling the module that contains main().   make shouldn't go to the linkage step, unless your makefile is goofy and has err levels off. There is no limit command in cygwin, and it probably can be safely commented out of the shell script.  

You can find a walkthru here: <a href="http://sourcery.dyndns.org/wiki.cgi?HowToCompileMud" target="_blank">
HowToCompileMud</a> which might be helpful.

Yes it wouldn't of course list the exact error.  That's not its purpose.  You did of course validate your configuration according to the article, as it do appear your cygwin setup is not correct.

Anyway whenever you do get that ironed out, the following patch for Dystopia to run threaded host lookups on cygwin might be helpful.
