Hmm, you didn't by any chance call the program 'test'?  If so, you may
be running the bash shell built-in command 'test':

    $ type test
    test is a shell builtin

If that's the case, it would make sense that only the DOS command
window would run it, since COMMAND.COM doesn't have any built-in
command called 'test', and so it would next look for files named
test.com, test.exe, etc. in order to execute the command.

Try the following in a bash shell to see if your test program works:

    $ gcc -o mytest mytest.c
    $ ./mytest
    Hello, Cyqwin!
    $
