Cygwin supplies a number of ...krb5... packages from MIT reference sources. Search packages from the link on the Cygwin home page e.g. https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=krb5&arch=x86_64 which looks like there is only one krb5 source package krb5-1.15.2-2-src viewable as: https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86_64%2Fkrb5%2Fkrb5-1.15.2-2-src&grep=krb5 which shows a number of patches, including Cygwin specific patches, and another source package for krb5-auth-dialog. Almost all Cygwin packages now use cygport for building (and packaging). Download the krb5 source package, have a look at it, and how the packages are built from the .cygport file. Install the cygport package, maybe libkrb5-devel and sources, try a build, then look at adapting that package build for your sources, if different. -- Take care.
