cygnome.sf.net is for GNOME 1.x, and cygnome2.sf.net is still under construction
(there're only some souce patches for GNOME 2.2.1)

Here is the 'gtk2 on cygwin':

There are both Win32 GUI and X11 GUI version of gtk2 ported cygwin.

Make sure you install the latest libtool-devel, then do the following
after ./configure,
     $ mv libtool libtool.old
     $ cp /usr/autotool/devel/bin/libtool libtool
then continue to perform make.

When linking DLLs, you need to add '-no-undefined' to LDFLAGS,
and make sure appropriate libraries has been included in LIBADD
   (e.g: you need to add libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la to LIBADD when linking libgdk_pixbuf_xlib.

Anyway, I recommend the prebuilt ones provided on the URL above.
