How to make a standalone executable file by Cygwin without using 'startxwin'?

[Henri Aghaei]

I have a executable file made by Cygwin Compiler. Once you click MyFile.Exe it does not run and a black screen pops up and says:

Parsing ....

Parsing ...

.

.

.

Display can't open.

So, to have MyFile.exe run. I simply type 'startxwin' into the Cygwin Terminal and a white terminal pops up and from there I am able to run my MyFile.exe. However, I don't like the way it takes to run! I would like the end user to click on MyFile.exe and it runs immediately! 

Therefore, what would you suggest me to get around this problem? I believe that I have installed all the required packages from Cygwin on my PC. As it is compiled in Linux platform I am not able to compile my files in Visual Studio or other similar IDEs. 

Not to mention that when I use dependency walker, it shows me that I have no files missing! 

What do you say?

Which "Cygwin compiler" are you talking about? Did you try running
MyFile.exe inside a shell?
