Hi,

one thing at a time.

I see Cygwin as an emulator. Your program will see Linux but not 
Windows. But you still can call Windows directly.

Do not delete those things. Never ever even think of deleting them.

You must install QT inside Cygwin if you want to make full use of it.

I have no idea if this will work.

In theory you should be able to use the Windows version. This will make 
your program even more weird as it itself will behave like a Linux 
program but the libraries are then a mix of Windows and Linux.

Try to stick either with Cygwin or move to Windows.
