I will mention it too our crew at the next meeting.

Oh, no. I thought the C and LD Flags concerns only extra options for the 
compiler and linker. I run

./configure --disable-dl --without-MP --without-doc --without-Texi2html 
--without-Texinfo

This line should also occure in

/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/singular-base-3.0.0-1.README

If you run configure with the options above make should terminate while 
compiling the docs or the dynamic modules specific stuff. But Singular 
is compiled in advance to this.

The executeable is located in ./Singular/ and there should be a link 
from ./ix86-Win/Singular to it. In ./ix86-Win/ additional executeables 
should show up.

Because before I came to the team nobody very found of Windows 
programming was there. But I will need time to become familiar with 
Singular and Cygwin.

Please be patient with me. Till now I mainly did developing with Windows 
RAD Systems and not in this Makefile c/c++ style.

Sincerely,
