Compiling pjsip on windows "C compiler cannot create executables"

Question

I'm having trouble compiling pjsip on windows trough cygwin. I tried to use android branc of pjsip form http://svn.pjsip.org/repos/pjproject/branches/projects/android/ and Android NDK r8c for windows.

This is output when i try to configure pjsip.

$ ./configure-android
configure-android: APP_PLATFORM not specified, using android-14
configure-android: TARGET_ABI not specified, using armeabi

Can anyone please tell how can I fix this....

Make sure you launch Cygwin As an Administrator on Windows, it made me struggle quite a bit when not doing so ^^
