Hi,
I also tried to glibmm2.4 2.68.
I've run a job https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?id=10803
with a commit
https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/playground/commit/?id=982b27642ff0325b85e8f1ad95e4e9cf9c782fd7
* Some tests using /etc/passwd are rewriten to use /etc/fstab, instead.
* Add variables: HOMEPAGE, LICENSE and BUILD_REQUIRES.
