Hi, I followed the instructions on http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/sitl-native-on-windows.html, than proceed to this page, http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/building-setup-windows-cygwin.html#building-setup-windows-cygwin. Everything goes find but I stuck on “Build with Waf” stage.
When I finish installing waf base on https://waf.io/book/#_getting_the_waf_file, and I install it under C:\cygwin64\home\abc\ardupilot. However, when I key in the lines below into Cygwin(x64)
$ cd ~/ardupilot
$ python waf
the error message is:
Waf: Entering directory /home/abc/ardupilot/build' [1/1] Creating waf -> preparing 'tmp-waf-2.0.18' Waf: Leaving directory/home/abc/ardupilot/build’
Build failed
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am unable to build and I am unable to ./waf configure --board Pixhawk1.
When I tried to type: ./waf configure --board Pixhawk1, I have the feedback below:
