Oz,

When you build with Visual Studio the gdal/port/cpl_config.h.vc file is
copied over gdal/port/cpl_config.h.  When building on linux, or cygwin
the configure generates the gdal/port/cpl_config.h.

Are you using Cygwin's make, and related stuff for your mingw build?  If
so, you have to be careful to rerun configure after building in the same
tree with visual studio.

Best regards,
