Don't copy it -- use the Cygwin setup program to install it.

The X.Org X packages use Imakefiles instead of Makefiles -- there's
adequate documentation on X.org.  But read on.

Normally, you'd be referred to the Cygwin/X FAQ at
<http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof>.

However, in this case, that would be useless, as you didn't use a
prescribed procedure to install the packages, so anything could be
happening.  This kind of installation isn't (and cannot be) supported on
the Cygwin lists.
