Because Cygwin phased out using -mno-cygwin gcc flag, (it doesn’t work at all now) we really should get rid of this on the makefile.gcc I just tried mingw in cygwin to build hgm’s branch of winboard, and it compiled successfully. (with mingw, not cygwin’s gcc as posix select() is different from window’s select() and fails) I imagine mingw will work on other unix systems.
