Cygwin does not include a Go compiler, and therefore the version of fzf you get when you install it, either by running the `install` script or by installing with Cygwin's package managers, you'll be getting the legacy Ruby-based version.
On Cygwin, `install` script will download the prebuilt fzf binary for Windows platform. It does not run on mintty, the default terminal emulator shipped with Cygwin, but it works fine on [ConEmu](https://conemu.github.io/) or the default Command Prompt (`cmd.exe`).
This legacy Ruby code is being retired from fzf, and will no longer be supported. The Ruby version of fzf has been forked and is now being supported as a separate project at [me-and/fzf](/me-and/fzf) (soon to be renamed); future Cygwin releases will be based off that code, and will probably have a different name.
The Vim plugin of fzf also works with the Windows binary. It will start an extra `cmd.exe` window on mintty to circumvent the aforementioned limitation.
If you really have to use fzf with mintty, consider checking out the legacy version written in Ruby, which is currently maintained in [me-and/fzf](/me-and/fzf).
