Please take a look at http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html.

There you will find helpful tips about how to compose a good problem
report, along with a list of the required information about your
environment that you need to attach.

I don't exactly know what you meant by this.  But, if all you want to do
is compile for mingw, then use "gcc/g++/etc. -mno-cygwin" with the
corresponding gcc-mingw[-*] Cygwin packages installed.

I would recommend using g++ for .cpp files, but gcc should work too.

These are the same.  See:

No.

You are probably missing the non-mingw (ie. Cygwin) gcc packages.
Including the information requested in the problem report URL above would
confirm that.

Try using the Cygwin setup program again, and make sure you have
everythig applicable in the following selected:

gcc                     3.3.1-3            OK
gcc-ada                 3.3.1-3            OK
gcc-g++                 3.3.1-3            OK
gcc-g77                 3.3.1-3            OK
gcc-gpc                 3.3.1-3            OK
gcc-java                3.3.1-3            OK
gcc-mingw               20030911-4         OK
gcc-mingw-ada           20031020-1         OK
gcc-mingw-core          20031020-1         OK
gcc-mingw-g++           20031020-1         OK
gcc-mingw-g77           20031020-1         OK
gcc-mingw-gpc           20031020-1         OK
gcc-mingw-java          20031020-1         OK
gcc-mingw-objc          20031020-1         OK
gcc-objc                3.3.1-3            OK
