Building couchdb from source on windows is ... tricky. You need to be abl=
e to build erlang from source as well, and the mozilla spidermonkey javas=
cript engine. This requires 4 compilers in all. It=E2=80=99s not for the =
faint of heart.=C2=A0

That said, if you need help, you=E2=80=99ll need to provide more details =
on the specific error. I=E2=80=99m by no means an expert on cygwin setup =
& failures, so I suggest starting with http://stackoverflow.com/questions=
/15496333/installing-cygwin-setup-ini-missing-from-http-mirrors-kernel-or=
g and working from there.=C2=A0
