I think this is what you're looking for:
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/bgi/install.html

It's designed for use with MinGW, however, and not Cygwin. If you
don't need Cygwin's Linux API emulation layer for your program I
suggest you use MinGW itself, following the instructions on that
website.

You may be able to compile it from source to work on Cygwin. The
source code is here:
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/bgi/source/
The makefile will need some changes to work.

Regards,
Chris
