Failed to build pyproj
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pyproj, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

The issue appears to be that --enable-new-dtags is being selected despite this not applying to the Cygwin environment.

This appears to be an upstream issue in setuptools in the Cygwin environment, rather than an issue with pyproj itself. I have opened an issue there instead: https://github.com/pypa/distutils/issues/171

Try changing line 170 of setup.py to also test for sys.platform != "cygwin", does that solve your problem?

Thank you, that resolved the problem and pyproj now installs (and imports) successfully under Cygwin:

That sounds like a good change to add to the code. A PR is welcome if someone has the time.

#1120 should be similar to what Joshua-IRT got working
