You can use the Cygwin buildsystem in win32, but I highly recommend you
write your SDL code to compile with MingW32 instead of Cygwin. The
difference is which gcc-based compiler you use and whether or not the
resulting code uses the Cygwin DLL.

The reason I recommend this is that Cygwin is very slow and not earned a
reputation for stability. MingW32 has a reputation for producing code
that runs sometimes faster than MSVC even if you lose some of the posix
features provided by the Cygwin compiler/library.On Sun, Mar 31, 2002 at 04:07:54PM +0000, olivier caignart wrote:

SDL should be set up to build with Cygwin but not require the cygwin DLL.
Please let me know if that’s broken.

See ya,
