Hello wxWidgets and wxPython people,  I want to build wxWidgets and wxPython on cygwin, but use windows widgets ( --with-msw ) so as to not require X.   This seems possible and appears to be done previously by others, but perhaps not for some time.  I have successfully build wxWidgets, but the build scripts
for wxPython do not seem to support this out-of-the box.  I have hacked on this with 2.8 and 3.0.2 verions.  Phoenix versions would be fine, too if that would be better.  thx. tnordland7
The best way to build under Cygwin is by using MinGW-w64 cross-compiler. If you do this, i.e. specify --host=i686-w64-mingw32 or --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 to configure, wxMSW should already be selected automatically and you shouldn't have much to do.
If you really want to create a Cygwin, as opposed to native, application (but why?), you may need to use --with-msw explicitly because Cygwin is considered to be a Unix environment and there may indeed be problems because, to be frank, this is a build variant that nobody uses any more. If you're interested in making it work, please check 3.1.5 and/or latest Git and let us know, or ideally fix, about any problems you encounter.
But if you just want to make things work in the Cygwin environment, using MinGW cross-compiler (available in Cygwin) is by far the simplest and IMO better option.
