	Cygwin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cygwin is a collection of free software tools originally developed by Cygnus Solutions to allow various versions of Microsoft Windows to act somewhat like a Unix system.
		Cygwin consists of a library that implements the POSIX system call API in terms of Win32 system calls, a GNU development toolchain (such as GCC and GDB) to allow basic software development tasks, and some application programs equivalent to common programs on the Unix system.
		Cygwin has no direct support for Unicode, nor does it support any character sets except the current Windows and OEM codepages of your system (e.g., for a Russian user, the only codepages available will be CP1251 and CP866, but not KOI8-R, ISO 8859-5, UTF-8 or anything else).

	Cygwin on portable storage media
		Cygwin is a software package that enables one to work in a UNIX-like environment under a Windows machine.
		Cygwin supports many flavors of Windows:XP, 2000, 98, etc. For more info on cygwin go to Cygwin.com.
		These keys are modified through the ``mount'' command of cygwin and are referred to by cygwin to find out which directories on the Windows directory structure are going to be mapped to /bin, /lib and /.

	NewsForge \| Cygwin brings Unix to Windows
		The Cygwin Project was started by Cygnus Solutions, continued under Red Hat (where a commercial version is available), and is now maintained by individual developers as an open source project.
		As you saw from the installation process, Cygwin is not a monolithic application, but a large collection of tools and libraries, many of which you may recognize from your Unix environment.
		Cygwin is a great alternative for those who feel constrained by working with the Windows environment.

	Install xfig on MS Windows
		By default, cygwin installs a minimal set of packages, which is not enough in most cases.
		If you use cygwin not only for xfig, but also for other applications, and you have enough disk space, you can install all packages.

	freshmeat.net: Project details for Cygwin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Cygwin 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 allows Bash to allow me to construct an infinitely complex command and press the enter button and deal with the consequences.

	Mex files with Mingw / Cygwin gcc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In contrast, the Cygwin gcc compiles link to a dynamic link library, cygwin1.dll, which provides a Unix style API that allows access to many more Unix routines than are available with the Microsoft libraries.
		Cygwin gcc executables tend to be a little slower, and require that the Cygwin1.dll file be on the Windows PATH.
		This is achieved by passing a flag to the Cygwin gcc, -mno-cygwin.

		Included with the Cygwin suite are most of the common Linux command-line tools and quite a few graphical applications, giving you the look and feel of a Linux machine on top of your MS Windows box.
		In any case, the CYGWIN variable can be set to specify explicitly the text file type that you want to work with, should you need to switch file types at a later time.

	Installing Cygwin
		I use Cygwin for a lot of my work because my laptop is more versatile running Windows XP as its main operating system but I would still like to use Unix programs like X11, Emacs, LaTeX and gcc.
		Also, SSH in the Cygwin environment is nearly identical to the way it is used on Unix, allowing me to use xterm and ssh instead of PuTTY, a fine SSH/terminal standalone application.
		Cygwin paths, which you need to specify in your Perforce client spec, will not work if you use P4Win on Windows; the two are non-interoperable.

	Cygwin Information and Installation
		The Cygwin DLL works with all non-beta, non "release candidate", ix86 32 bit versions of Windows since Windows 95, with the exception of Windows CE.
		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.

	An Introduction to Cygwin
		Cygwin is free software that provides a Unix-like environment and software tool set to users of any modern version of MS-Windows for x86 CPUs (95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP).
		Cygwin provides all of the components needed to do this in most cases; most POSIX-compliant software, including X11 applications, can easily be ported to MS-Windows using Cygwin.
		If you plan to install Cygwin on another PC, however, you may be able to save time by copying the local package directory and the Cygwin installer to the second PC; follow these instructions to install Cygwin on the second PC, but choose "Install from Local Directory" in step 3.

	Cygwin/X Frequently Asked Questions
		Cygwin source code is licensed under a modified version of the GNU GPL.
		Cygwin's license modification specifically allows third-party software under an open source license to be linked with Cygwin without requiring that the source code for the third-party software be distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL.
		Cygwin's developers went to great trouble to obtain this modification and should be thanked for doing so, as without it the modification, Cygwin/X linking to Cygwin would be the subject of endless discussion.
