cygport is not a package manager. It is a package *creator*, only.
“cygport install” is basically a wrapper around “make install” in your build
tree. Because cygport was supposed to set up the build system to install into
a private installation tree underneath your cygport build tree, the resulting
files won’t end up in /usr/bin and such. They’ll be in a subdirectory of the
one containing the *.cygport file.

After “cygport install” say “cygport package” to create the tarball.
Then:
$ tar tvf package.tar.xz
(check that it looks sane)
$ cd /
$ tar xvf /path/to/package.tar.xz
(use package; is everything fine?)
