I haven't built using Cygwin for a while now. I migrated to MSVC9 because, while FG built OK, OSG wouldn't build with the then current version of gcc included in Cygwin. I'm not sure if that situation still pertains. It is relatively easy to build with MSVC9 - import the 7.1 project files maintained by Fred in CVS. The MSVC8 files in CVS are hopelessly out of date. The first build is a bit painful - getting the right dependencies/paths etc. Thereafter it's a doddle, you just need to watch out for new files. Sometimes authors forget the necessary Windows stuff (no names no pack drill), but Fred is usually on the case with 24 hrs. Given that MSVC9 is free, and is an excellent editing environment, I would not envisage going back to Cygwin.
