You were using cygwin to compile with mingw-gcc and this was the source of your problems. The cygwin gcc has a -mno-cygwin switch turning it into the mingw-gcc (it really is a cross compiler and the frontend switch simply selects a different backend). However, this cross compiler understands cygwin paths and I have no problems in building a native lyx using cygwin-only tools. -- Enrico
