The problem is that both projects, Cygwin and MinGW/MSYS, provide much
more than just a compiler, and in an incompatible way, which is probably
incompatible with what your toolchain does, and incompatible with what
Visual Studio does.
"-Ic:\test" specifies one path name for Windows, but probably two for a
toolchain with Unix heritage, where ":" is the separator, not a drive
letter. Cygwin wants "-I/cygdrive/c" instead, (some versions of) MinGW
want "-I/c". That, on the other hand, might be an option "-I" followed
by an option "/c" for a toolchain with Windows heritage.
The problem domain is complex, therefore solutions need to be complex.
That aside, I found staying within one universe ("use all from Cygwin",
"use all from MinGW") to work pretty well; when having to call into
another universe (e.g. native Win32), be careful to not use, for
example, any absolute paths.
