I've used cygwin32 to compile sendmail, rcs, thttpd, bind ... for
Win ''95 but never kaffe.

The required magic is to edit your cygnus.bat file and be sure to
set your MAKE_MODE=unix.  Without this you are forced to modify
the makefiles so they can find .obj files and magically use .exe
as the default extension for executables.

Cygnus has a pretty decent FAQ on their website.

You should use a command line:

./configure --prefix={Wherever}

And be sure to set {Wherever} to be the install dir for your distribution.
This should typically be in 'cygwin32' format '//c/usr/local/'
