You don't need X11 to compile the app on cygwin, unless the app was 
written for X11, in which case, you really have to link against the X11 
libraries.


I guess that you need to link correctly with the w32api libraries.  Try 
these out:


g++ teapot.o  /lib/w32api/libopengl32.a  /lib/w32api/libglu32.a \
    /lib/w32api/libgdi32.a  -lm -o teapot


If you want the binary to be native windows (i.e. does not depend on 
cygwin), you may want to try adding the -mno-cygwin option on your 
invocation to g++.

HTH.

Best Regards,

Carlo
