You have apparently skipped the green note that is under the Cygwin 
section and reads:

"The Easiest way to perform the following is to use LODE, which 
automates all that is necessary, beyond installing Visual Studio and Java.

If you want to do it the hard way, continue reading."

If you had used the LODE method, an autogen.input file would have been 
created. Now you have to create it yourself. More about the file:
