Hi Assif,

That could be a DLL missing in the runtime path (cygwin seems to fail 
silently in such a case, which is pretty annoying).  To check, run 
yarpdev from a regular windows command window, rather than a cygwin bash 
shell.  Then if there's a DLL problem you'll get a popup message telling 
you about it.

Hope this helps,
Paul
