Cygwin file names look like /cygdrive/e/gtk-3-... …although it's possible to rid yourself of the /cygdrive prefix and set it to just / instead. This comes with a few caveats, but in general you'd need to ask the Cygwin installation what the prefix is set to via "mount -p" or you skip the vagaries of the differing prefixes and use "/proc/cygdrive" instead for scripts that should work either way. Cygwin can and does process DOS-style paths, but if scripts are involved that are not prepared to deal with them all bets are off, so they should be avoided wherever possible. > What you show looks like MSYS format, not Cygwin format.
