errors when trying to build in cygwin

Considering none of the code is my own, I feel helpless. It's an open source tool, and I can't use it.

This is the tool : http://www.gnucap.org/devel/gnucap-2013-04-23.tar.gz

And these are the errors I get when building on Cygwin (Win 7, 64b) : 

$ ./configure

done

Any help will be great. I feel helpless. If you can suggest resources so I can learn to fix such errors on my own, that would be teaching me how to fish..

You have to include stdio.h in lib/test_readline.cc to define FILE.
