There's a commented-out line in the X11 Makefile, "#cp $(srcdir)/../win32/pdcurses.def ./cygwin.def". Presumably you'd need to uncomment that manually before building.
I have to admit, I haven't yet tested the X11 port under Cygwin -- partly due to some old CVS comments that implied that it doesn't work, partly due to Cygwin being such a pain to set up that I didn't install the X stuff, and partly because I tend to look at the Win32 console port as the target of choice for Cygwin (i.e., using win32\gccwin32.mak instead of configure, make).
If you get it built and working, please let me know. Perhaps that will motivate me to do so here, and to clean it up a bit.

Ok, doing that copy did allow it to build and install ok. I had to work through some project issues, and all seems fine until the end.
Unfortunately the show stopper for me is Open-Cobol at the moment. It is not yet able to ./configure for pdcurses (using X11 at least). The compiled application must use the same curses library as the compiler's library, since it will demand load it. This causes my pdcurses compiled code to attempt to use the one that Open-Cobol library has selected (ncurses in this case). So its not the most successful combination ;-)
So for the moment, I'll leave the option available in my project's ./configure, but won't be revisiting pdcurses, until I get around to doing native builds (which won't be using the gnu autoconf tools obviously).
Thanks for your help however. Perhaps you could eventually enable an automatic copy of that deps file when it is appropriate for the future.

a promising fashion until:

Apparently is is looking for a ./cygwin.def file, which does not
exist.
I did an exhaustive "find / -name cygwin.def", and there is no
file like that existing here.
Thanks, Warren.

I'll check that out tomorrow and see where that leads.
Thanks, Warren.

Patched in CVS if you want to test it for me...
