 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. and 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's new : · Fix a typo which made FIFOs non-functional. · Fix wrong return value in call to btowc('\0'). · Allow atexit callbacks to register further atexit callbacks. New /usr/include/sched.h and /usr/incude/sys/sched.h files due to alignment with newlib files. No functional change. However, if the new files result in problems when building projects, please report to the Cygwin list.
