Problem building tint2 on cygwin

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. attempt to built tint2 on Cygwin
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I have untarred the tint2-0.11.tar.bz2 then:
cd tint2-0.11
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ./

The result is cmake fails, with the following message:
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- broken
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8.11.2/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 
(message):
  The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

I've checked the /usr/bin/cc and it is a link to /usr/bin/gcc (gnu compiler 
which is installed on Cygwin).  That is working just fine, so why the cmake 
error? 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
tint2-0.11, on a new installation of Cygwin.  Operating system is Win7-64bit.  

Please provide any additional information below.

There may be some dependencies missing for proper installation of tint2.  
However, cmake did not fail due to missing dependencies, but claims no working 
c compiler.
