I'm new to these tools and have a question about these two compilers: cygwin b20.1 and mingw32 both with egcs 1.1.2. I will be mainly developing native win32 code not porting unix programs to win32. Although the compilers are the same, does the overhead of the cygwin.dll significantly slow down programs? The reason I ask this is because I want to use the blitz++ library. I tried compiling this library with mingw32 + the cygwin user tools. Although the configure step ran properly, I got errors during the make (seemed like something to do with paths and not finding files). I had no problems compiling the library with the full set of cygwin tools. Because of this, I would like to stay with cygwin if there isn't much of a performance hit. Thanks very much.
