The undefined references would indicate a library that is missing.
What library would that be?

Looks like it is not getting at least the gdk, gtk and zlib libraries, and probably in the section that you clipped out it is also missing the rest of the libs that are implicitly linked with by wxGTK. Apparently cygwin requires that you explicitly link with them.

What library entry will I need to add?

Look at the libs that were linked with wxGTK when it was built and add them.

I'm also on the Cygwin trail, but I am attempting to build with the MSW toolkit. I've tried to tweak config.py to provide the right environment, and am currently seeing this:

sholden@bigboy ~/Projects/wxPython28
$ UNICODE=0 WXPORT=msw python setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug 2>&1

...
Lots of other undefined symbols.

However I understood that _InitCommonControls@0 should be provided by COMCTL32.DLL, which I assume (possibly wrongly) will be represented by /lib/w32api/libcomctl32.a. Clearly it's not, as I see both -L/lib/w32api and -lcomctl32 in the g++ command line.

It's a while since I did any C++, so if anyone can point out how I am going wrong I would be grateful.
