Maybe this was my fault: `Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts: A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.`
I'm not sure if i can link against cygwin with an application compiling with mingw. Do you have any experience with this problematic? If it is true that i cannot link against cygwin libraries, then cygwin is not a solution for me. Then I need to stay with my own "terminal" widget. I don't want to bundle cygwin's runtime library.
