You can apparently use thumb or other external drives?
Those will be accessible via /cygdrive/X (where X is the drive letter) under Cygwin.
IIRC you can even start a Cygwin session from an external drive meaning you could do your build at home.

But Kevin does provide a self-contained installer for KDevelop5/MSWin. Probably not for Cygwin, but the nice thing with that environment is that you can put its /usr/bin directory in the MSWin PATH and call the executables "as usual" from outside Cygwin.
