Hi,

Is Cygwin just a build of GCC or does it have a standard set of patches
applied, or are the patches merged with GCC at appropriate GCC version
updates ?

I basically want to be able to use GCC releases on Windows if possible, how
do I go about this ?

Do I have to add the appropriate Cygwin libraries ?

Can someone give me a pointer on this, ie either explain or point me to the
relavent documentation please.

Aaron
