You can't build Rockbox Utility in cygwin as Qt / Trolltech doesn't
support this. Maybe there's information about this around on the net,
but I think that's beyond the scope of this list -- especially on the
users ML.

To build Rockbox Utility you can just get the MinGW package of Qt,
which includes everything needed and also downloads and installs the
required MinGW.

You need to install latex to build the manual. See

You can pipe it to a file using >
But I would suggest you to ask on the development list about this, not
the users list.
