Description:
Cygwin project is a DLL which provides a Unix emulation
environment for Windows.
The Cygwin environment provides a complete port of such
development utilities as gcc, binutils, gdb, make, etc., as well as
a vast number of useful utilities.
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of
two parts:
· A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API
emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
· A collection of tools which provide Linux look and
feel.
The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially
released x86 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, with the
exception of Windows CE.
Note that the official support for Windows 95, Windows 98, and
Windows Me will be discontinued with the next major version (1.7.0)
of Cygwin.
What Isn't Cygwin?
Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You
have to rebuild your application from source if you want it to run
on Windows.
Cygwin is not a way to magically make native Windows apps aware
of UNIX functionality, like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to
build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin
functionality.
