Hydra will be installed into .../bin of: /usr/local (change this by running ./configure --prefix=path)

Writing Makefile.in ...

Cygwin detected, if compilation fails just update your installation.

Windres found, will attach icons to hydra cygwin executables

now type "make"

After make and install I get hydra.exe

Then after copying all the needed dlls to the hydra.exe folder when the run the application.. I get the following error.

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) click OK to close the application.

Can you try to use gdb hydra.exe by compiling it in debug maybe ? You could try cygcheck hydra.exe to look if your exe isn't lacking of a library. If so install it via setup or else.
