Err... What you mean by "as it works in linux". Because Linux itself 
doesn't really contain g++ compiler, you have to be more spesific about 
needed libraries. "Standard" librares comes out-of-box, but different 
spesific libraries have to be installed by hand. Or if you want to be 
"sure" just install everything. But even that doesn't guarantee that 
compilation works (eg. cygwin port of kde and gnome libraries are under 
work) and of course programs have to be written in portable way 
(backlinking problem is excellent example things that works in linux but 
not in cygwin).

Otherwise g++ compiler in cygwin, and Linux works "same way" because 
both are compiled from same codebase.
