Well, I'm new to Native Extensions as well, but it appears you can't create a single extension that works on both OSX and Windows. Folks seem to be using Visual Studio for Windows and Xcode for Mac. That seems like a lot of work and a complicated build environment. The nice thing about the CrossBridge code is that it can be one cross-platform project. I'm going to look into where the cygwin dependencies are in CrossBridge and see if they can be removed, unless someone knows of a way to simplify the Native Extension development.
