so it is a cross platform app.  I suppose your choice would still depend
on what your app does and uses.  Though I am not certain, I wonder if
using MinGW might increase the risk of having code that would be Windows
specific while using Cygwin might lead you to code that is more unix
generic.  Perhaps someone else can answer that better than I could.

Correct, although I suppose that DevC provides some conveniences that
make the development easier.  As Rob Pearce said, you can do without
Glade but I am no expert at hand coding and have no desire to develop
that way so for me, Glade is necessary.  So, with MinGW, gtkmm and Glade
I can do well enough with my development.
