Before posting, you should avail yourself of all resources at
cygwin.com.  You'd find everything you need there to answer this question.
To start, you can find any package that contains the file you're looking
for (in general) at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>.  In this case, enter
"libX11.a" and it will tell you what package you need to install to get
this file.  Also, you should keep in mind that the cygwin-xfree list is
the proper list for asking Cygwin X-specific questions.  You may want to
review <http://cygwin.com/lists.html> before posting subsequent messages,
so you're more certain you'll hit the right list the first time (not that
you didn't this time necessarily).  But use the lists as "last resorts",
when you can't find the information you need in the available documentation
or email archives. 

HTH,
