Hi Satis, I've tried to use mingw distributed with cygwin. And it worked well for static libraries.
Another problem I am facing is I cannot build shared libraries with it even I supplied with "--with-shared-libraries=1". Only .a libs are generated and there are no dlls. There was a message saying "CMake setup incomplete (status 256), falling back to legacy build" when configuring. I did install Cygwin's cmake. I don't know if cmake will help for shared libraries.
