It seems like you'll need to get some scripting knowledges. You can start with this tutorial.

For a hello world shell script:

  1. Open Cygwin
  2. Create a Hello World script: echo "echo Hello World!" > hello.sh. It is a file with the only line echo Hello World!
  3. Run the script ./hello.sh

man is your friend!

Have you tried building your projects from the cygwin command prompt?

Before you start writing a script, you need to know which commands you need to build your project.
