OK, so I followed the Cygwin instalwtih screen shots(
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CygwinInstallWithScreenShots) but when i selected archive, where you select the packages, the ones listed on the guide werent there when i was suppose to check them, all there was was a n/a symbol and no box to check.
I was using the goh4.com mirror and was using it with the -X command.
So i installed cygwin anyways thinking it might work anyways and did the same with rockbox's mirror.
So, after installing i followed the simpleguide to compiliing guide, and everything was going ok until i got to the make command and then i got this :
