Hi,
Can ne1 tell me how to setup Cygwin in Dev-C++ v4.9.9.2 ?

First: Tools->Compiler options
Now if you want to use Cygwin exclusively, then you simply modify the directories (and possibly programs) dialogs to map onto your Cygwin installation. Although since the makefile is generated and executed in the Windows environment, I am guessing that you may want to force the use of the MinGW make utility to avoid compatibility problems (specify the path explicitly in the programs dialog).
If you still want to use MinGW as well as Cygwin, in Tools->Compiler options->Compiler, you can add an additional compiler set (field and buttons at top of dialog).

There is not a simple, flip the switch mode that takes Dev over to using Cygwin.
You need to understand the paths to the tools, to things like the include paths
and library paths etc. that Dev uses, and the paths to the Cygwin tools and files.
This is somewhat of an "expert" level task, and generally speaking, folks with
that level of skill and pioneer spirit don't tend to ask a HDIDBS level question.
If you are comfortable with, and have been around Cygwin for a while (I recommend
the mailing list archives, they are fascinating reading), then you know that issues
have a way of arising at times with mixing non-Cygwin aps and Cygwin, because of
subtle issues with the way Cygwin manages things like mount points and paths.
This probably will not impact you here, but it might.
You should also know that very few people run Dev-C++ with Cygwin in this way, so there
is a good chance that you are going to be largely on your own getting things to work
past a certain point. (About this point as a matter of fact) ;)
