If you had run "make" at the top level - as you were supposed to - you 
would not have even attempted to build that directory :-)  That directory 
is supposed to be built only on Windows proper - using the 
"WindowsAudioInputDevice.mak" file with native tools such as Visual 
Studio.  It was not intended to be built using 'Unix-like' environments - 
even environments such as "cygwin" that run on Windows.

If you can get "WindowsAudioInputDevice" to build and link using "cygwin", 
then great; however, it wasn't intended to be built that way.
