Yes, sorry for such lame question :( I should have seen this issue
the code has been modified and has been tested under linux and is now
working as expected under linux, thanks
however I have a X server connection issue
freeglut (./tests/GENERATED/GlutWindowTest): Unable to create direct
context rendering for window ' '
This may hurt performance.
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
 after 34 requests (32 known processed) with 5 events remaining.
think I will have to post on Cygwin/X ML
thanks for help
