Hi Michael,

Luke is right, you need to have the Windows SDK tools before the cygwin
stuff in the path.


I've been through this in detail many times. Most of the acquired wisdom 
is documented here; for more details and example order see

I strongly recommend doing your windows builds on a dedicated VM and
ensuring you have regular snapshots to clean up and roll back to.

Once you have the path and dependencies organised, building multiple
versions of OTP is cake.

Good luck.

A+
