Max,

Thanks for the quick response. But I didn't get any relevant hits on
this from bugzilla http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ when searching 
for either "MinGW" or "cygwin".

Any ideas?

Thanks 

Divya

There is an ongoing effort to make Win32 Mozilla compile with MinGW GCC.
Searching in Mozilla's Bugzilla should find it.
