According to http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ 2.9.5 is the latest development version rather than the latest stable version. I have had some success (see cmake/build_projects/CMakeLists.txt and cmake/build_projects/wxwidgets/bp.cmake for the details) building the latest stable version of wxwidgets (2.8.12) both on Linux and MinGW/MSYS/Wine. The build_projects project is still quite experimental and explicitly excludes Cygwin for now because it doesn't work completely (some of the pango/cairo dependencies fail to build) yet even on MinGW/MSYS. Also, I forgot that those on Cygwin sometimes have to build PLplot dependencies such as wxwidgets. But in theory, anything that builds for MinGW/MSYS (such as wxwidgets) should also build for Cygwin. So I suggest you follow by hand what cmake/build_projects/wxwidgets/bp.cmake does to start, i.e., use 2.8.12 and CXXFLAGS=-fno-keep-inline-dllexport. Also, I recall from years ago that the file command was needed on Cygwin in order for an autotools build to work. So I would check that you have the "file" package (see http://cygwin.com/packages/x86/file/) installed. If those tips allow you to build wxwidgets by hand, then when build_projects is more mature you might want to try build_projects yourself on both MinGW/MSYS (first to make sure everything works for you on that platform) and eventually on Cygwin. But for now while build_projects is so experimental, I would hold off on trying it and only use it to get tips for building certain PLplot dependencies such as wxwidgets by hand.
