MinGW is not really part of Cygwin.

The problem is that you have Cygwin or MSYS installed. These put sh.exe in you PATH. GNU's make will chose sh.exe instead of Windows' standard shell. Unfortunately sh.exe doesn't understand Windows-style paths.

Qt does not support building from a Cygwin or MSYS shell.
