Installation problem #21

I tried to install orgmk on a Windows 7 machine running Cygwin
according to the instructions at
https://github.com/fniessen/orgmk#sec-6-1.

Step 1:

I used

git clone https://github.com/fniessen/orgmk.git

instead of

git clone git@github.com:fniessen/orgmk.git

I got

myname@mymachine /cygdrive/b/FQPath
$ git clone https://github.com/fniessen/orgmk.git
Cloning into 'orgmk'...

myname@mymachine /cygdrive/b/FQPath
$ cd orgmk/

myname@mymachine /cygdrive/b/FQPath/orgmk
$ ls -l
total 240
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 myname Domain Users 1242 Feb 8 12:40 bigblow-pirilampo.setup
drwxrwxr-x+ 1 myname Domain Users 0 Feb 8 12:40 bin
drwxrwxr-x+ 1 myname Domain Users 0 Feb 8 12:40 lisp
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 myname Domain Users 2740 Feb 8 12:40 Makefile
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 myname Domain Users 132327 Feb 8 12:40 README.html
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 myname Domain Users 51379 Feb 8 12:40 README.md
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 myname Domain Users 43795 Feb 8 12:40 README.org
drwxrwxr-x+ 1 myname Domain Users 0 Feb 8 12:40 site-lisp

Step 2:

I ran make:

myname@mymachine /cygdrive/b/FQPath/orgmk
$ make
sh-4.4$ ls -l
sh-4.4$ type make
sh-4.4$ locate make
sh-4.4$ which make

At that point, I seem to have a shell running that didn't pick up my
account name or pwd. As you can see, many commands now return
nothing, which I presume means they are aliases that are currently
undefined.

If I try to close the Cygwin terminal window, I see that three
processes are running on this TTY: /usr/bin/bash,
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/make, and /usr/bin/sh. make's PPID points to
bash, and sh's parent has a PPID of 1. I'm suspicious of Rtools, but
I figure it's just make, and, if that were a problem, no doubt others
would have found it by now.

Do you have any suggestions as to what happened or how to finish the installation?
