It's ok, the solution is good, although you have made a small typo: in
the second changed line you have written $(top_builldir) instead of
$(top_builddir). Please fix it.

Now I've found another two issues, probably they have the same cause:

1) When I enable PostgreSQL provide with --with-postgres, the script
does not find it. It's because it looks for 'libpq.so' library
(configure.in, line 233), but in Cygwin the only library is 'libpq.a'.

I've managed to compile all by changing this line by hand. :-P

2) When running gda-test, the function gda_config_get_provider_list()
returns an empty list. This is because it looks for libraries in
LIBGDA_PLUGINDIR with extension G_MODULE_SUFFIX. In Cygwin this last
macro is defined as "dll", but the build tool does not generate .dll
versions of the libraries, only .a files. I don't know how to fix this.

Should I send this to Bugzilla?

Thanks

P.D. The link you sent about Gnome 2 packages in Cygwin is great! I
think that if these two issues are solved (and the other bugs I saw in
gnome-common are solved too), libgda will run perfectly in Windows.
