building on cygwin requires these dependencies

guile1.8-1.8.8-3
libfontconfig1-2.13.1-1
libfreetype6-2.9.1-1
libgcc1-7.4.0-1
libglib2.0_0-2.54.3-1
libguile17-1.8.8-3
libintl8-0.19.8.1-2
libpango1.0_0-1.40.14-1
libstdc++6-7.4.0-1
python2-2.7.16-1

so you need at least the devel version of the packages
(or equivalent names on your distribution)

libguile1.8-devel
libfontconfig-devel
libfreetype-devel
libglib2.0-devel
libintl-devel
libpango1.0-devel


plus of course gcc compiler, automake, autoconf.
Building documentation may need some more but as
it is really time consuming and the documentation
is already available in a separate package you can skip it.
