> Has anyone an idea on how to proceed? I know there are cygwin and mingw, 

I typically point people at mingw in these cases, assuming they're
comfortable with a DOS window and/or are coming from a Microsoft-tools
background.  Cygwin is a better POSIX environment, but DJGPP isn't, so
Cygwin's strength doesn't really help in a migration.

If you typically use bash instead of command.com, or if you're coming
from a Unix/Linux background, Cygwin will feel more "at home" for you.

As for mingw missing bison, look for "MSYS" which is an add-on to
mingw that gets you "the rest of the stuff".
