Hi, I am using Cygwin 1.7.11 i686 on Windows 7 PC. I am trying to compile a

When I use the ./configure command, Cygwin shows the following error messages:

If this program is looking for winsock2.h than it allows to be
compiled on windows.
It is not cygwin requesting it, it is the configure itself

winsock2.h and ws2tcpip.h are Windows header files for Windows network/socket
programming. Why Cygwin tries to pull in Windows header files when I am
compiling a Linux C++ application? How can I fix this issue?
Thanks.
Which program ?
