I just never even try to use Windows or develop anything on Windows so there
may indeed be details to sort out. Perhaps Gunter or Yang can provide some
additional hints here since I know they at least sometimes run curl stuff on
windows.

Could that possibly be because you run a different perl installation than the
one from cygwin or something like that? Surely '..' should be a perfect path
for anything within cygwin?

That make failure seems to indicate a problem. runtests.pl runs 'make show' in
that directory and if that doesn't work the Makefile is not there and
working...

No curl-config in the parent directory?

I can't figure out what causes this output...

This is of course fatal and will prevent most testing. Add -d and -v to the
runtests.pl command line and see if you get any useful info from that.
