 Found this to be helpful for building hamlib under Cygwin/Mingw32 for 
 linking with Windows apps:

 For some reason Cygwin doesn't like it.

 Note: on subsequent runs you can replace ./autogen.sh with ./configure
-
-Modify include/config.h to put the sleep back in, i.e.:
-   /* Define to 1 if you have win32 Sleep */
-   /* #undef HAVE_SSLEEP */
-   #define HAVE_SSLEEP 1
-   #define HAVE_SLEEP 1
-For some reason ./configure doesn't properly recognize it.
-
-Copy /usr/include/iconv.h into /usr/include/mingw/ otherwise rigmem 
-won't build.
+unless there are modifications to any .ac, .m4, or Makefile.am file.
+In that case, "make clean", and re-run autogen as above.
 
 # make
 
-Don't run "make install" if you've already made a native Cygwin version 
-of hamlib, since it will screw up the pkgconfig for Cygwin linking.
-Instead, manually go through all of the .libs and copy the resulting 
-.exes and .dlls in to a single directory, or create a script to do it

+Don't run "make install" if you've already made a native Cygwin version
+of hamlib, since it will screw up the pkgconfig for Cygwin linking. In
+fact, it's best to have one tree for native Cygwin and another tree for
+cross-compiling so you can avoid overwriting any created object files or
+libraries.
 
-Also, copy the files in include/hamlib into this directory, but unmodify 
-rig.h from before, i.e:
-   #if defined(__CYGWIN__) || defined(_WIN32)
-   #include <windows.h>        /* HANDLE definition */
-   #else
-   #include <sys/time.h>        /* required for struct timeval */
-   #endif
+Instead of "make install", manually go through all of the .libs and copy
+the resulting .exes and .dlls in to a single directory, or create a script
+to do it for you. Likewise, copy the .h files in include/hamlib into this
+same directory.
 
 Go to the directory you've just put all that stuff in and run:
 # strip *.dll
 # strip *.exe
 This will make the resulting images smaller.

 Windows command window from the directory where you put all that stuff:
 
  > lib /def:libhamlib.def /machine:IX86 /name:libhamlib-1-2-2cvs-2
 
 This will create libhamlib.lib and libhamlib.exp.
 
-libhamlib.lib and the .h includes from include/hamlib can now be used
