I have built it according to the method described here.

I wonder why you mention Visual Studio and Cygwin? Either it is Cygwin or a native Windows build.

werner closed T4059: Errors while building from source on Cygwin (gnupg repo) as Wontfix.

We won't do that. FWIW: We started to work on a 64 bit WIndows version of GnuPG.

Thanks. Fix goes into 1.37.

In master, I pushed a change, closing.

gniibe claimed T4454: scdaemon is not working in cygwin (64bit).

For future, it would make sense applying your patch, but I wonder if it works on macOS.
Let me check.

haubi added a comment to T4474: libgpg-error: Disallow undefined symbols by design..

Without -no-undefined, libtool refuses to create the shared library (dll) on Cygwin, because libtool knows that creating a shared library (dll) on Cygwin does require all symbols to be defined.
Unfortunately but traditionally, by default libtool has to assume a library being created will have undefined symbols.
Hence, if the library to be created is designed to have all symbols defined, libtool needs to be informed about this fact using the -no-undefined flag.
This flag does allow libtool to create a shared library even on platforms known to require all symbols to be defined for shared libraries.

Please explain in more detail what the problem with Cygwin is.

We do not support 64 bit Windows thus this problem on Cygwin is obvious. Funny that Cygwin falls back to native Windows object in this case.

Some times I a curious and it seems that GnuPG can be used on 32 bit Cygwin. Thus I wonder what is going on on 64 bit Cygwin (which I don't know). It might be a HANDLE/socket issue where Windows is still using values which fit into a 32 bit integer but Cygwin might have changed that. Eventually we need to remove that assumption in GnuPG's code and this is why I won't have a problem to keep this bug open.

Given that Cygwin is not supported I would understand if the bug is
closed or should I open a feature request to have Cygwin officialy
supported.
I would never the less appriciate any help/hint on how to be successfull
installing "gnupg" on Cygwin.

Note that Cygwin is not a supported platform. Seems that the exec functions don't work on this 64 bit variant.
