7. Forgot one important thing. cygwin does not distinguish filename case, 
which means in your case, that the line 

#include <koSpell.h> in koBgSpellCheck.h 

uses kospell.h from the current directory instead the file koSpell.h 
from ../kospell, so you have to change the above line into 

#include <../kospell/koSpell.h>
