G'day Special_K,

I tried the installation myself and got the same result. I edited my CPAN Tester Report as follows:

Additional comments from tester:

I'm following up a question on PerlMonks:
"help installing Devel::NYTProf under Cygwin"
(https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=11135967).

The error I have below is identical to the one posted on PerlMonks.

The "CPAN Testers Matrix: Devel-NYTProf 6.10 (latest distribution)"
(http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Devel-NYTProf+6.10)
only has one report for Cygwin
(https://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/a4dfd892-7306-1014-8def-c9dd7
+5d8a230)
which is an identical FAIL.

I see from https://github.com/timbunce/devel-nytprof/blob/master/t/50-
+errno.t
that the problem line is in a SKIP block:
    skip ... if($^O eq 'VMS');
Unless that test is essential for Cygwin, perhaps consider:
    skip ... if($^O eq 'VMS' or $^O eq 'cygwin');

The CPAN Testers Matrix typically takes a while to update: my report may not appear for some time (which is why I posted it here). I hope there's sufficient information for you to see what's going on; ask if that's not the case.

Given you got very close to success: 

Failed 1/55 test programs. 1/4949 subtests failed.

I'd recommend you take the force option.

Update: Force worked for me. 

cpan[2]> force install Devel::NYTProf
...
  JKEENAN/Devel-NYTProf-6.10.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/make install  -- OK
