Openswan is supposed to support installation on cygwin. I was then instructed to cross compile openswan for cygwin on linux to try and get it to work. And i was told to look at the cross-compiler doc in the openswan package on how to do that. Which told me to get winsup and build it so I would have a compiler on Linux to build openswan for cygwin. But thats when i ran into the issues above. You mention packages that come with a cygwin installation to compile a program to be used on cygwin. Mind giving me a rough idea on how to do that?
