Why don't you start with working examples or tutorials on gnu make, 
which should apply to the make which comes with cygwin?  Any make which 
works with backslashes or has default rules for .obj and .exe looks to 
be off topic for cygwin.  gnu make works fine for .obj and .exe if you 
add the rules.  I find this more satisfactory than dealing with the 
various non-posix make programs available for Windows, none of which are 
supported by cygwin.
