Can gnupg-2.1.0-beta834 be compiled on Cygwin ?


I tried downloading it from the ftp link WK gave, and when trying to configure on Cygwin, got the following errors:

configure:

*** You need libgpg-error to build this program

*** You need libassuan to build this program

*** You need libska to build this program

*** It is now required to build with support for the
*** New Portable Threads Library (nPth). Please install
*** this library first.

configure: error:

*** Required libraries not found. Please consult the above messages
*** and install them before running configure again.


Ok,

Downloaded all the above libraries from the links provided,
started with the first one mentioned, libgpg-error,
and got as far as,

config.status: creating po/Makefile

        libgpg-error-1.16 prepared for make

        Revision: 8f3187f  (36657)
        Platform: i686-pc-cygwin

Then after trying 'make',
got the following:

$ make

So,
can it be done on Cygwin, using other steps/commands first?

(btw, have not had any problems compiling, making, and installing gnupg 1.4.x on Cygwin).

TIA,
