gcc-4.3.3 mingw32 should build now under stable releases of cygwin 1.7... still have to figure out which package has langinfo.h
various IDEs (including QtCreator, Anjuta, KDevelop, Code::Blocks, Geany, Kate and many others) are already available for cygwin 1.7: see http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/
still have to figure out if it is just FUD what they say about "unstable" due to file sensitivity... although... I can't seem to find where I read that now... so, it seems safe enough...
development of OpenFOAM 1.6.x and OpenFOAM 1.5-dev seem to be possible now under cygwin. It is more advisable to do a "local cross-compile", so OpenFOAM can run without cygwin "limited layer" ;)
debugging of the cross-compiled version should be possible, using a cygwin based IDE... since it all runs in Windows...
getting OpenFOAM headers to work with native Windows, can be done by using the -E option of gcc... in other words, preprocess the code using a cgywin based (cross-)compiler for native mingw to use... or even M$ Developer studio.... search for compatible stdint.h... because MSVC isn't fully compatible with C99 standard... and are still new on the C++0 thing...
new links:
- Open MS HPC based in Windows OS, developing native build of OpenFOAM: http://www.scai.fraunhofer.de/openmshpc/softwarepakete/openfoam.html - current status unknown...
- Stdint.h for MSVC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stdint.h#Downloads
update the FAQ part about Windows...
