Hi everyone. I'm trying to export my C program that used MySQL from Linux to WindowsXP and to make the exportation simpler, I'm thinking of downloading Cygwin. May I ask if I still need to download anything to help me use MySQL in Cygwin? Links to download sites and/or tutorials will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I do not see how you might need Cygwin to run MySQL. The server and client programs for Linux and Windows have the same functionality. If your C program uses some shell commands, that's another story, but just for MySQL you don't need it.

Could you suggest to me a compiler then? Thanks

No, I can't. The last C compiler I used was Turbo C by Borland back in the 80s.
On http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/source-installation.html it says that you need
A working ANSI C++ compiler. GCC 3.2 or late
to compile MySQL, so that would be the requirement for client programs as well.
