vcontrold in Cygwin-shell returns "Parse error: Found no blanks: RECVC"

[t4qjXH8N]

At the moment I am trying to use vcontrold on Windows10 64-bit in a Cygwin-shell. In this Cygwin-shell the vcontrold is compiled by issuieing the following commands in the given order (partially following the instructions from https://github.com/openv/openv/wiki/Vcontrold-Kompilieren):

1. Installation of Cygwin64-bit with some additional packages like libxml2-devel (2.9.4-2) and adding paths to the system environment. $ uname -a gives CYGWIN_NT-10.0 SurfacePro3 2.10.0(0.325/5/3) 2018-02-02 15:16 x86_64 Cygwin

2. Cloning the latest release of vcontrold from https://github.com/openv/vcontrold.git by $ git clone https://github.com/openv/vcontrold.git $ cd vcontrold and switching to the latest release by $ git checkout -b v0.98.5

3. Preparing the build with $ mkdir build; cd build $ cmake -MANPAGES=OFF .. returns

   -- The C compiler identification is GNU 6.4.0
   -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
   -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works

   -- Found rst2man: /cygdrive/c/Anaconda3/Scripts/rst2man.py
   -- Configuring done
   -- Generating done
   -- Build files have been written to: /home/Christian/vcontrold/build

4. Then issue make by cmake --build . returns

5. Testing vcontrold with $ vcontrold -x ../xml/300/vcontrold.xml yields a bunch of these errors

   ...

   [3396] Sat Feb 17 10:59:34 2018 : Unit SC not defined

   With debug mode enabled the result looks like this $ vcontrold -x ../xml/300/vcontrold.xml -g yields (excerpt)

The same parse errors occur when I use the files from a working vcontrold on a raspberry pi. Any ideas?
