Using Cygwin and MinGW together

SDL Development
1

Hi there,

Sorry about the hassle but I’ve been looking through the archives and though I
think I get what I should be doing I just thought I’d check.

I’ve been using Cygwin with the SDL fine however I want to remove the cygwin
dependances and want to move to MinGW. I’ve tried a couple of methods but I’m
still getting errors, I think it is because I have the cygwin libraries and not
the MinGW ones. If I followed the instructions on
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/mingw32/README.txt and then call mingw’s g++
from cygwin will everything work okay?

Thanks,

Gary

Have you tried using msys? http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml

It’s pretty schweet.
