I use Cygwin's TeTeX, so I can only give you a hint. Looking at
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/texmacs-dev/2003-06/msg00039.html
it seems that the envireonment variables TEX_TFM_PATH and TEX_PK_PATH have
to be set appropriately. But note that the Cygwin package contains TeTeX
as a dependency, so if you don't want to install it, you have to manually
deselect it.

Out of the box, only shell and python sessions work for me. As for
Computer algebra systems, I run Reduce, but remotely via ssh, as
interfacing the Windows version did not work. I tried to interface command
line Maple, but it did not work either. As Cygwin contains a clisp package
now, it should not to be too difficult to get Maxima running.
Somebody else who had more success interfacing native Windows
applications?
Best Regards,
Andreas
