So that's good.  Not sure why you don't then have the Start menu option for
"x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019".  You can make one manually
in a regular Cmd prompt by calling the vcvars64.bat file from the above
directory.

I would suggest not using Cygwin when doing this, it has been the source of
lots of weird issues in the past.  In fact, I highly recommend that you
keep Cygwin and Wireshark development on separate machines.
