If you used install_cgal and Cygwin to compile CGAL, then you should use 
nmake 
and makefiles to compile your applications. It seems that you tried to 
compile a vcproj with Visual, using that CGAL installation.

You should tell use why you are using install_cgal, instead of the 
precompiled 
CGAL shipped with the Windows installer. For unknown reasons, you have 
decided to use CGAL under Windows in a non recommanded way.
