This happens because when using GCC, precompiled-headers are on by default.

-Dkst_3rdparty_build=ON only works with MinGW on Windows. Maybe you could compile
getdata with msvc, but I assume most other projects will completely fail.

I see you have cygwin. This could also complicate things, but I'm not sure if Kst has 
problem with cygwin, other projects sometimes report errors.
