OpenPGP Smartcard with Cygwin

Hello,

Under Cygwin I get the next error message:

gpg --card-edit

gpg: apdu_open_reader: failed to open driver `libpcsclite.so': dlopen,
Win32 error 126
gpg: card reader not available
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: general error

I tried installing pcsc-lite from their website, but this only installs
a libpcsclite.a and libpcsclite.la.

How do I get the Smartcard working under Cygwin? I found no information
on this topic (OpenPGP smartcard cygwin) in the web.

Under Windows itself the OpenPGP card works fine. (Except, that when no
card is inserted in the (SCR335) card reader while signing an error
window pops up telling that "Die Anweisung in 0x7c9211de" veweist auf
Speicher in "0x00000000" Der Vorgang "read" konnte nicht auf dem
Speicher durchgeführt werden". When no (usb) card reader is plugged-in a
normal gpg warning is issued.)

Thanks,
