Such a difference between a Mingw and a Cygwin application is often clue of 
a hidden bug in the application. Something may be corrupted or not 
initialized properly.

No, OpenGL has no dependency on cygwin1.dll. The OpenGL implementation used  
is the one provided by M$ for Windows.

There are 6 examples of C++ programs using GLUI, GLUT and OpenGL under 
/usr/bin/GLUI-examples
these were compiled with -mno-cygwin. Are you able to run them ?

Sources for these examples, including a Makefile, are in 
/usr/share/doc/opengl-1.1.0/GLUIexamples
