Cygwin or Linux? AKA: what do you use to compile?

I've been able to compile samples under both Cygwin and Linux but it seems there is work to do on either side when trying to work with particular lib's.

So what's everyone using? Perhaps the moderators can setup poll in the forum?

Cheers

Linux... it's more native to what you're doing. Cygwin just tries to emulate what linux already does.

That's what I was thinking, but I find I get errors like "can't find file e:\..."
I'm a newbie so I'm wondering if alot of the more experienced guys have both setups? Or do you just use certain lib's that you like and stick with those?
