Cygwin compile error: No rule to make target `compat-Windows_NT.o', needed by `libsparse.a

Cygwin compile error: No rule to make target `compat-Windows_NT.o', needed by `libsparse.a

git checkout and "make" gives following results in Cygwin. There is no
"INSTALL" file that would explain how the compilation should be
arranged. Please advice.

You'll need to set OS=cygwin in makefile (line 3). That should do the trick.
