Could someone give hints to achive compiling gambas on cygwin ?

I simply tried to run "./configure" on cygwin, and it failed when
searching for libX11. I then loaded the cygwin/x modules, which
amongst other things install a library named "libX11.dll.a", but
his does not suit gambas needs. Is there something special to do
about this ?

Isn't the available cygwin package "libtool-1.5b" good for gambas
compilation ?

Do you have another suggestions/directoins to achieve the port of
the GUI part ?
