Running gvim from Cygwin is much harder than running console Vim-for-Cygwin in
a Cygwin bash terminal, because (unless you want to solve the endless problems
of interfacing a Windows gvim [which expects a Dos-like filesystem
architecture] with a Cygwin shell [which expects a POSIX filesystem
architecture]), you'll have to compile a version of gvim with some flavour of
X11 GUI, and display through a Cygwin X11 server.
To use individual Cygwin commands in a Windows environment, all disk paths
must be translated back and forth. See "man cygpath" under Cygwin.
Best regards,
Tony.
