Hi Dick,

Thanks for the reply - I have installed everything in Cygwin. This includes 
a load of files in
/usr/lib/mingw
/usr/lib/w32api

I've tried adding these to my PATH variable but that doesn't help. Is there 
a different environment variable I should use that refers to the library paths?

Also what file exactly is it trying to find - is it libuser32.a or 
something else?
