How to use Cygwin GCC in Windows 64 bit

[DT]

Sorry for this newbie question but I have spent the whole day looking
for the solution on the internet.

I have a program written in Linux 64 bit. Now, I've just upgraded my
home PC to Windows 7 64 bit. I cannot call gcc anymore as it throws
the message:

"This version of file is not compatible with the version of Windows
you're running. Check your computer's system information to see
whether you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the
program, and then contact the software publisher."

How should I go around this problem? Thanks.

By asking in the proper forum? Try gnu.g++.help.

How to use a specific tool is really not appropriate here (FAQ
5.8/5.9).

You might also go to www.cygwin.com, they have a pile of links on the
left
side of the screen that might be useful.

First thing is to know where did you get the version of gcc
you are trying to run.

Is it a version of cywin's gcc?
Or is it Mingw?

Or is it neither?
