Cygwin Python Bindings Problem

[MrChris001]

I'm a big fan of this project as it's allowing me to perform a few functions that I've wanted to for years - so thanks for the hard work.

I can utilise the Python bindings in Ubuntu without any problems whatsoever but I can't get beyond the './configure' stage with Cygwin. All of the prerequisite libraries and Python are present when I try and run it but when I run './configure' I get these messages, which appear to indicate that Python won't be happening:-

checking whether to enable build Python bindings... (cached) no
checking whether to use use to specify the Python directory (pythondir)... (cached) no
checking whether to enable build Python 2 bindings... (cached) no
checking whether to use use to specify the Python 2 directory (pythondir2)... (cached) no
checking whether to enable build Python 3 bindings... (cached) no
checking whether to use use to specify the Python 3 directory (pythondir3)... (cached) no

Features:
Multi-threading support: pthread
Wide character type support: no
pfftools are build as static executables: no
Java (jpff) support: no
Python (pypff) support: no
Python version 2 (pypff) support: no
Python version 3 (pypff) support: no
Verbose output: no
Debug output: no

When I 'make install' pffexport does not compile either. I don't know if this is linked?

Are you able to provide any advice please?
