Not enough.  Please review <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> carefully,
especially the part in bold that tells you to attach the output of
"cygcheck -svr" on your system.

Why would you expect to be able to use a Cygwin library with a
configuration that says "no cygwin"?  Most Cygwin libraries
require the Cygwin DLL to work.

libpopt.a is a static library.  libpopt.la is a libtool auxiliary
library.  Both of these require the Cygwin DLL to work.

Yes.

This is an informational message.  I think you should be fine, besides the
issues above.
