Hi Alan,
the understanding is correct, it should be
libgnat-6.dll.a or libgnat.dll.a
Thanks for that confirmation.
However as

I suspect the ada package is incomplete, so I raised
the attention of the package maintainer.

Hi Marco:
Many thanks (!) for your message to the Cygwin Ada package maintainer
with a clear simple example of the problem. (We were unaware of that
simple Ada example until now, and that is likely to prove useful for
us in the future as well.) If that maintainer is on the ball, I am
pretty confident the net result of your message will be a package fix
that will make our workaround (linking to the dll) for the packaging
issue redundant.
However, until that Cygwin Ada package is fixed we would like to use
that workaround (which so far we have only gotten to work by hand)
from CMake. So my original general question remains concerning the
best way to get CMake to find dll's. So far (although we haven't
tried this yet) it appears our best bet is to use find_file (rather
than find_library which appears to be unable to find dll's on the
Cygwin platform) to find that dll for the Cygwin case. So if anyone
here can suggest a better method of finding dll's on Cygwin, please
let me know.
Alan
