libtool has been cygwin aware for several years and I've had no problems with it building many shared libraries.  (Except for example, GMP in which they assumed possibly too much in libtool and was forced to explicity use CPPFLAGS="-DDLL_EXPORT"

I can envision where something like that can be cause of non-portability in the gpgme building code.

I am using cygwin, a (unix) posix compliant system. GPGME should be able to be build without any problems.

The problem should be looked into.  I will do what I can, but need you experts help.

Please look into the build code regarding building for "cygwin" ...

Cygwin Group:
   Do any of you in the cygwin group know what the problem is?
