<div dir="ltr">Hi Satis,<br><br> I've tried to use mingw distributed with cygwin.

Only .a libs are generated and there are no dlls. There was a message saying "CMake setup incomplete (status 256), falling back to legacy build" when configuring. I did install Cygwin's cmake. I don't know if cmake will help for shared libraries.<br>

</div>Nope - I don't think it will work. Our build tools are primarily work with<br>
cygwin paths.<br>
<br>
Alternative is to use MS/Intel compilers - and we support them with<br>
win32fe compiler wrapper.<br>
<br>
What problem are you having with using mingw distributed with cygwin?<br>
