I recommend that you move the WebKit source tree from C:\Digia into your cygwin home directory. For example my WebKit installation resides in D:\cygwin\home\Marcus\WebKit . Quote: "Note that it is safest to build WebKit in your Cygwin home directory. At the moment, there seems to be an implicit assumption in the build scripts that paths will be relative to the home directory." See http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/BuildingOnWindows
