To me this looks more like a problem with ctwm than with cygwin,
because I had essentially the same problems when building ctwm-3.6 on
Solaris (SunOS 5.8). But with some tweaking I got it compiled and
running on both (instructions follow).

If you read ctwm's mailing list, you will have seen that ctwm got a
new and highly motivated developer. I've seen the Imakefile on his
TODO-list, so we can hope for improvements in version 3.7. As an
interim solution you may try what I did.

Another problem is that the latest bison has problems with gram.y. I
don't remember, but I guess I used an older version to produce
gram.{c,h}, which I attached to this e-mail. With that the following
works for me on Win2k with an up-to-date cygwin distribution. Hope it
helps. -- Daniel

tar zxvf ctwm-3.6.tgz 
tar zxvf ctwm-3.6-gram.tgz 
cd ctwm-3.6
xmkmf 
echo "COBJS = gram.o lex.o deftwmrc.o add_window.o gc.o list.o ctwm.o parse.o menus.o events.o resize.o util.o version.o iconmgr.o cursor.o icons.o workmgr.o windowbox.o clicktofocus.o" >>Makefile
echo 'cob: $(COBJS)' >>Makefile
cp ../ctwm-3.6-gram/gram.? .
make cob
make ctwm.exe

# Now test it:
XWin.exe :1&
./ctwm.exe -display :1&
