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.
