MinGW and Cygwin

• http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_MSYS-MinGW
• GTK+: http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html

CygWin

• -mconsole (default) - compile console application
• -mwindows - compile windows application

I've read that these are deprecated. This should be used instead:

1. Wl,-subsystem,windows
2. Wl,-subsystem,console

If you need to compile mingw application using cygwin use this compiller option:

1. mno-cygwin

MinGW

• should be the same as cygwin… or not ?
