You don't need cygwin to run the version I build because I include the appropriate DLL files.
As long as you put the 13 DLLs (seperate zip file) in the run folder you should be fine running john.exe or john-omp.exe.
 
The last time I compiled JtR, I was asked to put the DLLs in a separate .z file.

I believe you need to run from a Cygwin shell, not the CMD.EXE Windows shell. If you can find a MinGW build instead I guess the problem will be gone.
