Hva er cygwin ?

Hvordan bruke cygwin på win ? Hva brukes den for eksakt ?

[Mr.Elendig]

# Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts: A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.

# A collection of tools, which provide Linux look and feel.

 

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.

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 to get it running 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.

What is it?

 

The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools for Microsoft Windows. They run thanks to the Cygwin library which provides the UNIX system calls and environment these programs expect.

 

With these tools installed, it is possible to write Win32 console or GUI applications that make use of the standard Microsoft Win32 API and/or the Cygwin API. As a result, it is possible to easily port many significant Unix programs without the need for extensive changes to the source code. This includes configuring and building most of the available GNU software (including the packages included with the Cygwin development tools themselves). Even if the development tools are of little to no use to you, you may have interest in the many standard Unix utilities provided with the package. They can be used both from the bash shell (provided) or from the standard Windows command shell.

Cygwin er kort fortalt en linux emulator på win.. sånn ca ihvertfall

[kattemat]

Nja... cygwin er mer et "linux-miljø" for windows. Altså windows med linux feeling på et vis.

Virker som det samme som wine - bare omvendt. Og uten binary-loader

Hmm...ikke for å være vrien, men egentlig ikke helt det heller vel:

Man må da ikke compilere word for å bruke det under wine

 

ENDRET: Jeg vet ikke ikke hva binary-loader er, så kanskje det er det jeg poengterte...

Binary loader (mulig det egentlig ikke heter det, menmen) er den greia som gjør at du kan kjøre windows-binærfiler på linux i wine.

Jepp...da var det du sa tidligere helt rett da. Beklager den unødvendig kverruleringen.
