As stated before, the DLL's on which your application depends need to be
in a directory that is included in the PATH setting.  If invoked from a
Cygwin/bash shell session then it is the Cygwin PATH, else the Windows
PATH setting.

I have c:\cygwin\bin included in my Windows PATH setting so I am able to
invoke Cygwin applications from a CMD shell window without launching
bash.
