I built Endre Kozma's interface between octave and ngspice.
Both on cygwin and linux.
It works really well! Easy and fast retrieval of ngspice's simulation results.

I did indeed need to rebuild ngspice from the source package
with cygport, configuring --with-ngshared, then builds just fine,
creating the libngspice* libraries.
(and you need to include the *.cm files in the rebase procedure).

Hope the next version of cygwin's ngspice will have the shared option enabled.
