Please try again with the following tarball.

Just untar then ./configure --disable-static;make

http://www.mapr.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/source/libgnomecanvasmm-2.0.0-cygwin.tar.gz

I slightly patched configure.in and build_shared/Makefile*. I also used the 
development branch of the cygwin autotools. Just diff against the original 
tarball to see the changes.

It works on my machine (Win2k SP4, latest cygwin + the binaries from 
http://web.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~s01397ms/cygwin/).

P.S. : I just do this once for libgnomecanvasmm. If you want to port other 
libgnome*mm library, you'll have to work it out yourself. That would be 
nice if you could then submit your patches related to this cygwin-port 
business.
