I can't get bochs to compile under cygwin.

Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.

Give up on cygwin. Take ~m32's advice. Install a command line (or light-weight) linux in a virtual machine and use it to cross-compile. Use your native windows or whatever to edit etc. I did this for a few months on my mac until I got gcc cross-compiling. Then I deleted the Linux virtual machine.
If a trainstation is where trains stop, what is a workstation ?

GCC 4.5 for MinGW exists.

... it only requires you to download and install the packages manually (not using MinGW installer, which is majorly outdated). For what it matters, there are even pre-built 64-bit targeted GCC's for Windows available here.
When the chance of succeeding is 99%, there is still a 50% chance of that success happening.
