I'm trying to compile the nDPI library in using Cygwin on Windows. When I try to run autogen.sh file I get the following error

./autogen.sh: line 5: autoreconf: command not found

I've been looking around now for four days to compile this nDPI library on Windows, and I DO NEED to compile it on Windows.

1. How do I compile this library on Windows?, OR
2. Is there a link that actually works and I can follow their steps to compile this library?

Here is the autogen.sh

#!/bin/sh
/bin/rm -f configure config.h config.h.in src/lib/Makefile.in
autoreconf -ivf
./configure

Try install autoconf, automake and libtool. It's under Devel of the Cygwin setup program.

To build MSYS tools, you should use the autotools provided in the MSYS System Builder package:

autoconf-2.61-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2 automake-1.10-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2 libtool1.5-1.5.25a-20070701-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2

Unpack them to the same location you extracted msys package.

I think you have to first solve the errors, since they indicate that you are lacking of some of the essential libraries. For example, the autoconf library...

If you are using Cygwin, you can get apt-cyg by:

lynx -source > apt-cyg
install apt-cyg /bin

After that, you can use apt-cyg install xxx to install the lacking libraries.
