Hey Bidski,
If you are willing to not use CygWin and instead go for MSYS, I'm
willing to work out a good guide together with you. I have successfully
compliled xerces-c both unter CygWin and MSYS (both with MinGW) in the
recent past but decided to go for MSYS because CygWin required an extra
DLL to be distributed along with my executables. I had some extra
problems with MSYS, which I wanted to hammer out when I get some spare
time at work.
If you want to get in touch to work this issue together, with the output
of a step-by-step guide that walks people through compiling from source,
then send me an email.
I'm a bit busy these weeks, but maybe I can fit in some time for this.
Best Regards,
Lars
