CygwinCygwin is a unix/linux envirnoment for the windows platform. Basically, you can install and manage code that is cross platform compiled using your autoconf, perl, python, X11, etc.I am still learning how to properly use cygwin to build projects. I would like to start using cygwin for all my building needs. My hope is that I can use the nmake and msbuild tools to maintain binary comp. between the cygwin and VS2005 ide builds. Cygwin has always been a black magic of the unix zeolot. It isn't that hard to learn, but I really need to make some sort of standard install package that setups my enviroment and allows for building to happen quickly from a bare install. Windows and Cygwin tweaks The except from How to build the code for Thinking in Patterns with Java by Bruce Eckel has a walk through on how to setup some things in Cygwin. Cygwin is great, once you've got it all setup and things are working great. It can be a lot of work to get it all going. I found this env. fetcher, which pulls all the packages needed to build pidgin. I'd like to see more of this sort of thing for other projects.

Sofeng's Blog: Cygwin, X, ratposoin, screen, rxvt setup Make and configure sometimes do very strange things when presented a DOS formatted file. Make will not build properly and configure will give this wonderfully cryptic message: ./configure: line 9: $'\r': command not foundTo fix it, just run dos2unix * and ensure that proper formatting is enforced. Cygwin X11Cygwin includes an x windows server called xorg-server. Remember to use xhost to allow remote hosts access to the x server. To allow a single remote host, do "xhost +your.ip.add.res". Or allow all remote hosts by performing an "xhost +".MinGWMinGW Starter GuideMinGW - Home Installing MinGW, compiling Perl and vim Dev-C++ A Moron's Guide to Creating and Using Your Own Cygwin or Mingw DLL's when Compiling Cygwin or Mingw Programs MinGW - nuwen.net MinGW: pexports for Windows DLLs | For Bharat Compiling mspdebug for Windows using MinGW | For Bharat Thoughts on C++: Building Qt5 with MinGW lots of other mingw info on Thoughts on C++ msysgit, very cool Google code project.
