David,

The OpenSceneGraph should compile with MinGW just fine and technically
requires no dependencies (except the OpenGL and the GLU import libraries
which should be included with your MinGW development environment).

Someone out there that uses the MinGW build should probably step up and
provide a 3rd party repository of the optional OSG dependencies.  Until that
happens you'll have to find online or compile the optional dependencies
piecemeal and plug them into the CMake configuration (for whatever you
need).  You may find yourself wanting freetype for example but not libcurl.
It really depends on your application.

I'm not sure about Cygwin, I have always stayed very far away from it due to
the licensing issues involved with developing with it.  I'd say it's likely
that someone has messed around with using Cygwin to compile the OSG but I'm
not sure what it would buy you since the OSG compiles fine on MinGW and
MSVC.

Eclipse is not a platform, merely a development environment.  There is an
Eclipse generator included with CMake 2.6.0 you can use once the OSG has
been ported to work with CMake 2.6.0 (in progress).  Alternatively if you
can't wait there is a CMake wiki entry on how to use Eclipse with a CMake
2.4.x generated project (although it's tailored more towards Unix
environments than Windows):
