Cygwin and MinGW tools differ significantly in that Cygwin tools deal with Unix paths while MinGW tools accept Windows paths. The easiest way to deal with MinGW is to use the MSYS shell which provides a limited Cygwin-like shell capable of supporting configure, make, and libtool, while automatically transforming Unix paths into the Windows paths that the tools require. While Cygwin does provide a compiler mode in which it may compile programs which use the MinGW library, there may be some problems with crossing over between the two environments.
