Noone provides binary packages for cygwin.
krytarowski commentedon Oct 10, 2018
Cygwin (and all other handled OSes) are community driven and the project can promise only source repository. Everything else what comes in a binary format is a matter of downstream vendor to build and distribute binary packages.
If that vendor takes part in the community, it can put the packages on shared ftp.
http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/
Right now nobody is actively collaborating from the Cygwin community so we cannot do much beyond shipping with source form.
The source distribution of pkgsrc might not be the proper place for prompt for binary packages, at least it probably won't get much traction here.
Update py-itsdangerous to 1.1.0.

I tried pkgsrc on Cygwin today and while it works, it is poorly documented and many packages fail to build, notably, devel/libtool-base, which is needed by devel/flex, which is needed by several packages I tried. I can install the same version of libtool in Cygwin but I do not know how to force use of it.
A few tips:
At a minimum you will want to install the gcc-core and libgcc1 packages in Cygwin.
From the command line: ./setup-x86.exe -q -P gcc-core libgcc1
Download and extract the pkgsrc tree as per the documentation and run the bootstrap script. I suggest you save the output with the script(1) command.
You will want to add these paths to /etc/profile (one is for Cygwin itself):
if [ ${CYGWIN_NOWINPATH-addwinpath} = "addwinpath" ] ; then
PATH="/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}"
else
PATH="/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin"
fi
Log in again to receive the correct paths and you should be able to enter a specific package and type "bmake", rather than the traditional "make" and note that make from Cygwin will fail.
That said, could someone please look at building devel/libtool-base ?
Thanks!
