You need to supply more information, such as an error message you are getting.

Answer 1

1) If you are using windows, why don't you use a pre-compiled version? They are available for both PLINK 1.07 (ms-dos) and PLINK 1.9.

2) Why create a Makefile? It is already included in the source distribution. If you really want to compile it, read How To Ask Good Questions On Technical And Scientific Forums.

2) Do yourself a favor and use linux. Bioinformatics with Cygwin won't be straightforward, and very few people (if any) work like this, so it is unlikely many people will be able to help you.
