The "Select Packages" dialog is just after the "Choose A
Download Site" dialog.  Make sure you select
Publishing:lilypond as well as XFree86:XFree86-prog.  I
couldn't get lilypond to execute until I reran setup and
manually selected the XFree86-prog package.  This package
contains some libraries and headers that are required to get
lilypond working.  Actually, they may only be needed for the
downstream tools (dvips or something).

Does the Lilypond development team maintain the Cygwin
package?  If so, please consider adding the XFree86-prog as
a dependency of Lilypond.
