True? Probably easiest if you use the MinGW/MSYS environment. It should be possible to "cross-compile" this from a Cygwin setup by passing --host=i386-pc-mingw CFLAGS=-mno-cygwin CXXFLAGS=-mno-cygwin ... I don't recall the exact value for host, nor whether it was necessary in any case, and may have forgotten other minor details. I've mostly just used MinGW itself for compiling stand- alone libraries. The MinGW home page has a nice FAQ: http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/FAQ (There is also good information about this from Cygwin; I can't find it right now.)
