From what I remember Cygwin always was a bit worse at building native Windows applications. But maybe that changed?Lostech wrote:@LordHoto:
I gave Cygwin a try because it normally has less problems as MinGW. So this was JFI.
Compiling under mingw
Moderator: ScummVM Team
I wasn't sure, but after reading http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started, I recall that I used mingw-get-setup.exe to bootstrap and did install the MinGW Shell and utilities i.e. MSYS to use this.
OK, I did try again with a fresh MinGW installation.
But it would be nice if the building process would do also a "strip scummvm.exe" 
Didn´t try enabling non-default engines but I think they will compile also if not already known as broken.
- installation with all basic packages enabled
- MSYS fstab correction (or just using fstab.sample as fstab)
- precompiled libraries (http://sourceforge.net/projects/scummvm ... p/download) extracted to MinGW folder
- git clone or source tarball of ScummVM
- ./configure && make -> there we go
