To answer all, with the intended way things should go:

cygwin's path
The right way is to let config.nmake append cygwin to your path, so it's 
automatically set if you start a nmake Makefile.

The CYGWIN_PATH setting should be set correctly to: c:\cygwin\bin (the 
default) or whatever your path to cygwin is.

See the very last line in config.nmake how the PATH is then appended.


nmake vs.cygwin make
There shouldn't be a problem with cygwin's make installed or not (we use 
nmake which obviously shouldn't interfere). If there are problems, 
please provide the console output - the message "it doesn't work" won't 
help a lot ...


So make sure that CYGWIN_PATH is set correctly (and the other settings 
in config.nmake), otherwise you'll probably ran into problems.
