I gave you the answer in the other thread, but since you asked for it:

Apparently not:
1. it told you to use Cygwin, you didn't read it.
2. it gave you the exact commands, you didn't copy it.
3. it provided you with an appropriate target, you still bother to ask.
So I stick with my opinion that you should RTFM. Again.

After all that, I even wonder wether you read my private message :shock:

You can't run configure from a Windows (or DOS) command prompt.
If you're using MinGW you should try installing MSYS (download here) and using the included shell to run it.
i did do that which is an equvilant of cywin configure runs but it gets an error
aka different problem?
can some1 plz help me

Source is platform independent... If you're using Cygwin (mingw has some issues with osdev) then you can build and run programs that are made to run on *nix systems anyway - I know because I run squidGuard without any problems and I built that from source :D.
