We barely support cygwin at all. We prefer mingw, which is like cygwin, but 
without the POSIX adaptation layer.

That said, QWS is meant to run on Linux only, though I know it has been ported 
to some other OS (QNX or VxWorks, maybe both). It makes a lot of assumptions 
that are true only on Unix systems, maybe only on Linux. For example, you need 
Unix sockets.

Compiling QWS on Cygwin is entirely unsupported. You're probably the first 
person ever to try and do that.

What's more, since QWS has only ever been compiled with GCC, it's very 
possible that it makes assumptions about it too. You may find that it doesn't 
work with Microsoft's cl.exe.

I don't want to sound negative, but unless you have a REALLY strong reason to 
do this on your own -- don't expect us to help you with a Done codebase -- you 
may be wasting your time. I really recommend you reset your expectations, 
abandon QWS and Cygwin, and move on to Qt 5 and QPA with either Mingw or 
standard MSVC.
