Hi Patrick,
Read about cygwin dll exports and imports at

https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html

You may want to find a similar Cygwin Python module and look at the source
package (something called python-...-v.n-p-src) to see how it is built using
cygport, which takes care of some Cygwin specific differences in builds.

If you still have issues, please provide all the information requested by:

https://cygwin.com/problems.html

which includes attaching cygcheck and build output logs.
