How to compile custom build with Cygwin for Windows?

[Odilkhan Yakubov]

I'm Win user and would it be possible to compile using Cygwin? If so, how?

For cygwin as I understand it, you can largely follow the Linux instructions in the README. You might have better luck using WSL if you can, though. I hear SDL support for cygwin might be lacking, though it'll compile fine without it as well. You just don't get the real-time render preview that way.
