Normally, a binary package built on one platform will not work on another. While it is possible to cross-compile, in most cases it is best to assemble the necessary development environment oNoten the target platform (including the appropriate libraries compiled for that platform) and build the package there.
Note that Cygwin libraries are not recommended for use in R packages on Windows. See the notes on compiling for Windows linked at CRAN.
