This empty prefix will cause trouble when you get everything built and you want to
do the final "make install" command.  I suspect the environment variable
MYPREFIX was completely unset.  You should fix that before you do your
next ./configure, i.e. (echo $MYPREFIX should show what prefix you actually
want to use for the final plplot installation).

    ^^^^^

For your next ./configure, you will want to add the option
--disable-wingcc (see below).

Your problem is caused by trying to build the wingcc device for a cygwin
platform.  Nobody has tried that before (wingcc was developed on a mingw
platform and so far only works there).  Cygwin and mingw are sufficiently
similar, I am sure with some effort you could get the wingcc device up and
running.  Probably it is a matter of having the correct libraries (and
associated header files) installed, and the configuration set up so it can
find those headers and libraries. However, until our one mingw/device wingcc
expert comes up with the right plplot fix for device wingcc on cygwin, a
good workaround is to disable the wingcc device using the --disable-wingcc
option for the ./configure command.

In sum, use --disable-wingcc and a valid --prefix option on your next
./configure and then try the make command again.  If build problems show up
for other devices, disable them as well as a workaround.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
