To build for Windows Visual C++, configure with CXX=cl CC=cl.
Configure has an annoying habit of setting the -g flag, which is 
ignored by Visual C++.  To avoid this warning, use the following command:
/full/path/to/configure --prefix=<install directory> CXX=cl CC=cl CXXFLAGS=

For the compilation under cygwin using VC++, you have to make sure that 
the PATH contains the path to the installation of Visual Studio.  
The safest way to do this, is to add VC to your Cygwin.bat file.  
Since it is possible to have several different versions of VC on the same 
machine, we recommend keeping a generic Cygwin.bat and creating special 
CygwinXXX.bat file for each compiler you want to use.  

Here is an example for VC9:

   @echo off

   @call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
   @set PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin\bin

   C:
   chdir C:\cygwin\bin

   bash --login -i

Two lines, "@call..." and "@set...", have been added to the default Cygwin.bat.

# add information to the environment

You need to tell VC where to find libraries and include files, 
even if the location is specified in your Makefile.  Here is an 
example for CLHEP:

export INCLUDE="C:/cygwin/home/clhep/1.9.2.2/include";${INCLUDE}
export LIB="C:/cygwin/home/clhep/1.9.2.2/lib";${LIB}

# setting the path explicitly for VC 7.1
#-------------------------------------------------------------

For the compilation under cygwin using VC 7.1 (Version 13.10.3077)
you have to make sure that the PATH contains the path to the
installation of Visual Studio .NET 2003.  This example also adds 
CLHEP to the path.  CLHEP is not required, but you may need it for your 
own purposes:

export VSPATH="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003"

export PATH="/cygdrive/c/WINNT/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322":${PATH}

export PATH="${VSPATH}/SDK/v1.1/bin":${PATH}
export PATH="${VSPATH}/Common7/Tools/bin":${PATH}
export PATH="${VSPATH}/Common7/Tools/bin/prerelease":${PATH}
export PATH="${VSPATH}/Common7/Tools/":${PATH}

export PATH="${VSPATH}/Vc7/bin":${PATH}
export PATH="${VSPATH}/Common7/IDE":${PATH}

The compiler also needs the following variables set up (and 
as these are interpreted by the compiler, they have to be in 
"windows-syntax"):

export INCLUDE="C:/cygwin/home/clhep/1.9.2.2/include;c:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7/include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\include"
export LIB="C:/cygwin/home/clhep/1.9.2.2/lib;c:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7/lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Lib"

Notice that CLHEP needs to be defined in LIB and INCLUDE.
You may have to adapt to your installation path, if different.
