Wyldckat - These are some old mental notes of mine, related to cross-compiling and compiling OpenFOAM for Windows. I'm leaving them here for historic reference:

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 (still haven't found which package has it...)
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...
