Try installing (Cygwin's) dos2unix, if you don't already have it, then try running dos2unix on the script. If it still doesn't work, try then running unix2dos. If you have binutils installed, you can also use the 'file' command for a quick report on whether files have lines terminated with CR (macOS), CRLF (Windows), or LF (UNIX/Linux). 'file' might not realize when you have files with inconsistent line-terminators, though.
And I forgot dos2unix also includes a 'mac2unix' command these days (though not a mac2dos), so maybe try that first.
