Cygwin is built around the cygwin1. dll library.

Symbolic links created with ln -s in Cygwin are interpreted as shortcuts in Windows.

The easiest way to do this is to add Cygwin's bin directory to your path, since that's where g , make, and GDB can be found.

Yes, it can be done using tools like cygwin, but I still recommend doing it with Visual C .

This is of little importance in CYGWIN, but if you ever use an actual Linux command line, this is an important thing to notice.

GCC support for C 0x threads does not work well for all platforms (for example, Cygwin).

To test the new utility, run it within Cygwin and the download the wget source code

If you don't have cygwin installed with bison and flex, you also need to make the
