I recommend using Mingw-w64 instead of cygwin since it has no overhead.
I'm using wxWidgets 3.1.2 with Mingw-w64 8.1 and it works fine.
From your error message I seems to me that you have linker issue.
Make sure you included everything required.

No, that is a linker error. It has nothing to do with the headers.

What Cygwin GCC are you using? Include 32 or 64 bit information.

With that I can see if I can duplicate the problem.

Edit: I also need the configure command used?
