Any info on using LilyPond (and other cygwin apps) from the windows command line?

You cannot run lilypond from a Windows command prompt, you have to run
it from the Cygwin command prompt, which you open by clicking on the
"Cygwin" icon or start menu item.

 

I thought it was ok, because "C:\cygwin\bin\lilypond.exe -h" worked.

but then "C:\cygwin\bin\lilypond.exe C:\t.ly" returned that "dlopen" thing

So, how do I run the Cygwin command prompt from a Windows command prompt?

 

I realise these things aren't LilyPond issues, which group would be best
to post them to?

 

P.S.

Double-clicking and LilyPond does work I deleted C:\CYGWIN to uninstall, so I did read that, but I only just read/realised that the installer is also the uninstaller.

 

While re-installing cygwin I got this other Error Message
in a popup dialog...

----------------------------------
mfw.exe
This application failed to start because cygX11-6.dll was not found.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
----------------------------------

I was "Reinstalling the application", what is that about?
