I seem to be able to compile coq just fine with windows 8.1, Cygwin
32bit (setup version 2.830), and coq 8.4pl2. One difference between us
is that my ocaml compiler was installed by Cygwin -- if your ocaml
compiler was compiled for windows, perhaps it expects DOS format
pathnames while configure is giving it posix pathnames.

To get it to work, I only had to fix line 338 of configure (because
checking for version 3.81 or greater of 'make' was rejecting version
4.00). Here is what I changed it to:

if [ "$MAKEVERSIONMAJOR" -ge 4 -o \( "$MAKEVERSIONMAJOR" -eq 3 -a
"$MAKEVERSIONMINOR" -ge 81 \) ]; then



Hope this helps,

And here are my results:

$ ./configure -local
You have GNU Make 4.0. Good!
You have Objective-Caml 4.01.0. Good!
No Camlp5 installation found. Looking for Camlp4 instead...
You have native-code compilation. Good!
