Igor: Thanks a lot for the answer. Norbert (openDBX author) tell me that
openDBX can be compiled with both of them: cygwin and winGW. As I know
cygwin I tried with it and not with winGW.

Why do you think I could use MinGW? which are the difference between them
(MinGW and Cygwin) ?

I am asking just because I don't know.

very thanks,

Mariano
