Good to know.
But what about the library at Tools/openbabel/install/lib/libopenbabel.dll.a
? This (rather than the cygopenbabel-4.dll) is afterall the "officially"
sanctioned library at the Quickstart Example
(http://openbabel.org/docs/current/UseTheLibrary/CppExamples.html)
Why did it not work?
Besides MSVC and cygwin there is also MinGW. The latter will give you
better speed than cygwin and freedom from MS compiler suite.

Great.
Cygwin or MSVC is your own personal preference. Cygwin makes it work
like Linux, but the MSVC code will run faster (due to the Cygwin
emulation later). Myself, I find it hard to write C++ without an IDE,
and the Visual Studio IDE seems to work well. A free version (Express)
is available. I
Yes, it works now after I have added cygopenbabel-4.dll to the PATH. Many
thanks Noel!
For a smoother experience moving forward, is it that I should use MSVC++
when I follow the Quickstart example (or write other C++ programs)? Or
perhaps I should have changed some settings when making my OpenBabe
You are compiling under Cygwin, so the names of the DLLs are different.
If you add cygopenbabel-4.dll to the PATH, then Windows can find it
when you run example.exe.

Hello folks,
I am trying to get started with using the OpenBabel libraries in
C++. So I followed the Quickstart example on the docs at
http://openbabel.org/docs/current/UseTheLibrary/CppExamples.html
But it gives the following complaints upon compilation:
