cygwin error when i try to install platypus (variant caller)

Question

[reza]

when i try to install platypus and samtools on cygwin, i get below error:

htslibWrapper.c:243:25: fatal error: htslib/bgzf.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Setup failed. Check previous lines for errors

what is htslib/bgzf? if i install mentioned programs on linux, i'll get same errors?

Can you elaborate on how you were installing those tools? What did you download, which commands did you execute?

[GenoMax]

htslib can be downloaded here. See INSTALL file for build instructions.

i installed htslib using below commands:

./configure

make

make install

and then tried to install platypus and now i getting following error
