Cygwin

Description

---

Cygwin is a a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows, a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality.

Cygwina is a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.

It is 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.
