Max,

  You can use http://cygwin.com/packages/ to find out which
Cygwin package provides a particular file.

  In your case, the "-luser32" switch to GCC is telling it to
link to a library named "libuser32".  Using the package search
page, you can find out that libuser32 is provided by:

  w32api/w32api-2.2-1	Win32 API header and library import files

  So - did you install the w32api package?

  BTW - general development questions are generally not appropriate
fot this list, unless they're specific to Cygwin.
