>From what you write ("either of the makefiles") it seems that you are
trying to build WinBoard, according to a README file with instructions for
building XBoard.

To build WinBoard with gcc under Cygwin you need the command (issued in
the winboard folder)

makefile -f makefile.gcc

To build with MSVC the makefile.ms should in theory be useful, but it has
not been updated for a long time, as none of us has MSVC, so I have no
idea if it still works. And if it works, I have no idea how it should be
used.
