Hi Eric, These are excellent issues to unearth. I like the idea of creating a setup to build the executable.
Here at work, we don't build the launcher too often. We keep a zip of C:\cygwin from a set of cygwin files that worked to build the launcher. I notice that my NetBeans is set up to use C:\cygwin\bin\i686-w64-mingw32-g++.exe when building from the IDE. You were asking if someone had a working setup. Would more information and/or files about this process help you personally?
