I've never tried building SID. I suppose the first thing to check is,
do you have tcl installed? Is it in the usual place? Do you need to pass parameters like --with-tcl=/usr -with-tcl=8.3 etc.

The Linux synth target only runs on Linux. There is no synth target
for cygwin. If you want to use synth you will need to swap to
Linux. That will probably also make building SID easier.
