How to resolve cannot find -lcrypt in Cygwin?

I'm trying to install Jekyll using Cygwin. I navigate to my project directory and run:


gem install jekyll

There were several errors but nothing that I couldn't solve by installing the appropriate package but there's an error that I'm currently stuck with:


Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
  ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:
