If you're using cygwin, why are the errors from the microsoft compiler?
It seems likely that if you used configure under cygwin, that the
compiler flags wouldn't be set correctly for the MS compiler.
Perhaps you didn't have gcc installed when you configured?

If you're using the DSPs you shouldn't run the configure shell script
at all; there should be Windows-specific config steps.

This suggests your wincrypt.h doesn't define HCRYPTHASH.  Either the
code assumes a newer version of the platform sdk, or there is something
wrong on your end.  The other errors seem to come from the same problem:
a bad wincrypt.h.
