And you have libpng installed?
$ ls /usr/lib/mingw/*png*
ls: /usr/lib/mingw/*png*: No such file or directory
$ ls /usr/lib/w32api/*png*
ls: /usr/lib/w32api/*png*: No such file or directory
Me not and therefore I cannot test it:
$ gcc -o pngtest pngtest.c -mno-cygwin -mwin32 -mwindows -lpng
pngtest.c:2:17: png.h: No such file or directory
...
Please contact the distributor of your MinGW libpng since this library
is not distributed with Cygwin it is not supported here.
BTW, using the Cygwin libpng without -mno-cygwin works ok and using this
switch doesn't port your software to Cygwin;)
