I now have to port my program to windows and was considering the cygwin route. The third party library is available for windows, but I learn from googling around that msvcrt.dll and the cygwin dll cannot coexist in the same executable. I dont know how the linking process works on windows, so I was wondering if the third party library could possibly have a msvcrt.dll dependency that would rule out cygwin for my port.
