@carlo-bramini Before we merge this, do you want to add a documentation about how to get it compiled for CYGWIN, or even add a CI? I ask because you now have the experience, and it would be sad if it gets lost 😆 |

I compiled latest sources of LMMS for CYGWIN and I'm contributing few changes.
I added an identifier
LMMS_BUILD_CYGWINfor this platform because it failed to link the final executable.Infact, the
-Wl,--enable-new-dtagsis supported only for ELF executables, so I had to avoid this event.Next, I added WINMM also for CYGWIN because it's perfectly able to build and use it.
Finally, CYGWIN also needs the
-Wa,-mbig-objflag like MINGW, otherwise an error will be printed.At the end, LMMS can be compiled and executed on CYGWIN without troubles.
I hope that you will find this report useful.
