Why did you start with 'compile'? I mean, what documentation did you
read that lead you to believe that's the correct starting point? (I'm
assuming you *did* RTFM: /usr/share/doc/cygport/manual.html.)
The correct starting point is:
$ cygport Singular-4-0-0.cygport all
The 'all' command runs download, prep, compile, install, package, and
finish, in that order. (Maybe test, too.) You will fail at 'download'
if SRC_URI isn't set correctly.
It's not terribly coherent with regard to your perspective, but this
answer I wrote on SO should at least get you oriented a bit better:
