Well, it's answered here:
"If you distribute the Cygwin™ DLL, either in its
original form or in a form modified by you, you must adhere to the terms
of the GPL, i.e. you must provide sources for the Cygwin™ DLL"
That's basically what Paul said.
It doesn't make your app GPL'd though, apparently,
But... now correct me if I've read this wrong, but my interpretation is
that if you want to
distribute cygwin1.dll with your app then you must make *that*
(cygwin1.dll only) available under the GPL. You can distribute whatever
you write as a binary under any OSI-compatible license "as if it didn't
Unless of course you want to distribute the cygwin1.dll with your
binary, which you may well want to do.

In accordance with section 10 of the GPL, Red Hat permits programs whose
sources are distributed under a license that complies with the Open
Source Definition [See http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd/ for the

I guess that is because in order to distribute a binary for Cygwin,
you have to link it against the Cygwin dll and maybe even provide a
Cygwin dll. That would be GPL licensed.
That had not specifically occurred to me, but I guess it makes sense.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi , here is exactly how to do it , the installs seem consistent now ,
as I deleted the whole thing and reinstalled and it worked every time
The 64bit mingw comes configured as a cross compiler , which as far as
we are concered just means that the gcc.exe etc are renamed to x86_64-
w64-mingw32-gcc
