../depends/check-autoconf.sh: line 5: autoconf: command not found
ERROR: Install autoconf before continuing.
../depends/check-autoconf.sh: Failed

Before you install the toolchain you need to install what are called "dependencies". The current dependencies are listed at:
http://ps2dev.org/psp/Tools/Toolchain

To get them run cygwin setup.exe, then when it shows you the package list, click the "view" button in the top right until it says "full" (this doesn't install everything, just reorders the list to make it easier to find stuff). Then scroll around the list and add the required packages (such as autoconf).

For the future: the most important thing in the internet is always the SEARCH funktion. On any board, for any problem, whenever you get stuck, first do a long search.

For the present: use this Tut. It installs a bit too much but worked well on a WinXP
