As Kees wrote, you cannot mix cygwin and mingw, if you compile *with*
cygwin1.dll then you do correct like above, if you have a dsl lib compiled
*with* mingw you need to add -mno-cygwin to your link line to get a native
windows binary.

gcc -mno-cygwin -o random.exe -c random.c -lgsl -l...

and you need to add the correct libs (I don't know them, Kees wrote about
dependencies msvcrt and so), libm, libg, libc are all the same as libcygwin.

Ciao,
