Hello,

the above test is for a "real" win32-build (using an msvc compiler) ; a cygwin
build is more like a "unix" build in my opinion, since the purpose of cygwin is
to make the win32-environment look like unix.

Therefore I would not set the WIN32 macro on when building with cygwin, but
perhaps this double-check is the best option:

#ifdef WIN32
#ifndef M_PI
#define M_PI 3.141592654
#endif  // M_PI
#endif  // WIN32

Regards,

        Tommi
