The problem, as I have experienced it, is that not installed projects using cygwin have the same installation directory; you need to (from the cygwin) shell determine the install directory first.

This indicates that you are using a very old Cygwin installation.
The issue leading to this warning was fixed over a decade ago.
Please upgrade your Cygwin as explained in
