As of version 0.59 (I think), TC no longer requires Cygwin.
So TC officially dropped support for Cygwin, in favor of MinGW.

You should be able to configure and build TC on Cygwin.
There are several things you could try to fix the DB problem.

One, create a Cygwin soft link for DB (DB -> DB-4.1 OR DB-4.5).
Then run ./configure, make, and make install.

Or, two run the MinGW script 'sh tconfig.mingw.sh'. It should generate
the make files.
Some minor changes in the compiler and lib make files, such as paths,
library and binaries names (DB, mingw32-make), may be required.
Then run make and make install.

Note that TC uses the BDB 1.85 API, which is included with DB up to
version 4.5 or 4.6 I think.
Or*cle (Sleepyc*t) dropped support for the BDB 1.85 API recently.
The 'configure' script should trap and abort if this problem occurs.

Anyway, hope this helps.
Good luck.
