Great. I don't have a window system here right now, I'll have to install cygwin tomorrow (otherwise I should not ask the following questions :-)). Should I just need to install setup.exe to enable me to recompile the program on cygwin, or should I need to install other resource as well for the compilation? I was using the minGW for compilation on window at the moment. Thank you.
