I used

VP8 Codec SDK
git clone git://review.webmproject.org/libvpx.git
(configure, make)

git clone git://git.videolan.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

Please tell me if this is the official git repository as it´s the
first time I use git...

[I´ve got the above git URLs from a FFMPEG compilation tutorial]

Getting it with GIT from URL above gave me the same problem, see below:

Any ideas? I´d rather prefer to avoid having to reinstall cygwin....
