The proper way is probably to use http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/cygwin-= mount.el I remember trying it and not getting it to work -- but I did not try very hard 2. An improper way recommended by Steve Yegge is to install cygwin not in c:/cygwin but in C: then everything "just works". This of course flies in the face of strong strictures from cygwin 3. Maybe you can just set the eshell-path-env and it works as you want? 4. Getting compile to work is better as Dan suggests. Maybe you can adjust compile-command?
