Fair. But I couldn't target my crappy roguelikes at cygwin - requires complicated third-party installs.

I ran cygwin-with-ssh heavily for a while in 2003. It was a hell of a thing to get it going. Then I had trouble getting it to work on a new computer and gave up. Shouldn't be surprised that it got good again.

Try Babun [1] for a pre-configured Cygwin setup with an easy install. I've been using it for the past month or so and it works great.

Alternatively MSYS + MinGW + GCC / MSVC.

> complicated third-party installs

Wait, isn't that nearly everything you ever install on Windows? Not complicated per se, but everything is third party and not signed by people maintaining Windows (as with most GNU/Linux distributions).

Chocolately helps with at least the "complicated" part. Has helped me fall in love with Windows (7) again.

Don't MSI packages help?
