Commoncpp make error

Hello,

I try to install commoncpp2-1.7.0 under cygwin, then I proceed as follows:

1) . / configure (takes place without any problem).
2) make. but during the compilation I receives the following error:
------------------------------------------------------------
timer.cpp:131: error:'::clock_nanosleep' has not been declared
make[2]: ***[timer.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/commoncpp2-1.7.0/src'
make[1]: ***[All-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/commoncpp2-1.7.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2
------------------------------------------------------------

  So I have two questions:
1. To what is exactly of use commoncpp2
2. How to solve this problem

I' am waiting for a response

Thanks for you all
