No luck. I edited settings.pro to define _WIN32 and remove Xinerama. This
is all done on the most recent CVS version of mythtv. The same error
message appears at the end:
*** No rule to make target `../libmyth/libmyth-0.15.so', needed by
`cygmythtv-0.15-0.so'. Stop.

Here are my notes:
libs/libmyth/util.cpp: error about xinerama, commenting xinerama sections
out
libs/libmyth/mythmediamonitor.h: error about missing file, removed #include
<fstab.h>
adding USING_DIRECTX to global defines because it seems like a good idea
found out i had to install directx for cygwin... found instructions here:
http://www.cs.lth.se/Education/Courses/EDA045/assignments/csdocs/html/cs_26.html

added /usr/include/directx to INCLUDE variable
decided to skip DirectX for now due to compile errors... moving on
libs/libmyth/mythmediamonitor.h: another error, this time i'm commenting
out the file
libs/libmyth/mythdialogs.cpp: Commented out all mythmediamonitor stuff,
which amounts to the "else if (ce->type() == kMediaEventType)" case in the
file
libs/libmyth/mythmediamonitor.cpp: commented this file out too
I edited settings.pro to not include xinerama stuff
libs/libmythtv/vsync.cpp: commenting out drmWaitVBlank function and related
DRMVideoSync class functions; also the 4 lines in VideoSync::BestMethod
which use DRMVideoSync to probe
libs/libmythtv/vsync.h: commenting out DRMVideoSync class
libs/libmythtv/videoout_xv.cpp: commenting out whole thing
libs/libmythtv/mpegrecorder.cpp: same
libs/libmythtv/videodev_myth.h: __u32 errors and etc v4l2 stuff...
commenting out
libs/libmythtv/ivtvdecoder.cpp: v4l2 stuff, commenting out
libs/libmythtv/videoout_ivtv.cpp: same
