No, there is a version of gcc/g++ mingw included in cygwin. The only thing to do is to add the compile and link flag -mno-cygwin. Then you get binaries that are purely win32 binaries.

Yes. I build boost with cygwin-mingw and I then compile my application with CodeBlocks which comes with a version of mingw (in fact a collegue of mine does that as he is not so familiar with shells,
gdb...).
