Line 28: == Cygwin beyond OSDev == If you go beyond OS development, there are several caveats regarding Cygwin that make its approach of "POSIX on Windows" less than perfect~~. Some of these caveats are collected in the [[Cygwin Issues]] document~~. Two more refer to [[Licensing Issues]] when linking Windows applications using Cygwin: * linking to the Cygwin DLL (POSIX API) makes your code fall under the GPL if distributed, and being dependent on the Cygwin DLL being present in a system; Line 35: If you intend to use the Cygwin gcc for building software, you should check out the permutations of the "win32" and "no-cygwin" options. == ~~External~~See ~~Links~~Also == http://www.cygwin.com/ - Cygwin Environment Official Site▼ === Articles === [[Category:Compilers]]▼ * [[Cygwin Issues]] === External Links === ▲~~http~~* [https://www.cygwin.com~~/ -~~ Cygwin Environment Official Site] [[Category:Compatability Layers]] ▲[[Category:~~Compilers~~Linux]] [[Category:Windows]]
