I have cygwin installed . How do I setup Dev-C++ to use Cygwin instead of Mingw??

  Tools->Compiler options, "under compiler set to configure", click the "+" button. Then fill in the dialog as necessary. Specifically you need to change the paths in the Directories\Binaries tab. You need to add the cygwin\bin path and maybe cygwin\usr\bin. Set absolute paths for the include and library directories, otherwise Dev-C++ assumes they are below its install path. Remove existing the MinGW paths.
  
  It may be necessary to copy the MinGW make.exe to a new folder and add that to the binaries paths before the Cygwin one. This will force Dev-C++ to use the MinGW make rather than the Cygwin one. In tha past I have had problems with different Cygwin builds of make.exe not handling DOS/Windows line-end sequences correctly, so this might cause problems with teh Dev generated makefile.
