The cygwin warning should not be fatal. Is that what made you think there's a problem with your path? Can you upload mypackage online? Two options would be Github hosts that sort of thing or you could use a tar ball and any file hosting service. I (and possibly others more skilled) would be happy to try it on my system if I had it.
You should also be able to see exactly where in the build process it failed from the log.
