 | | Cygwin is a software package that enables one to work in a UNIX-like environment under a Windows machine. | | | What follows is what you need to do so that your cygwin can work with any host windows computer. | | | As is, this installation will work only when your portable storage device is connected to the computer on which you performed the installation. |

| | Cygwin has a lot of features and packages that make it useful as a substitute for a Unix or Linux environment. | | | I use Cygwin for a lot of my work because my laptop is more versatile running Windows XP as its main operating system but I would still like to use Unix programs like X11, Emacs, LaTeX and gcc. | | | Cygwin paths, which you need to specify in your Perforce client spec, will not work if you use P4Win on Windows; the two are non-interoperable. |

| | Cygwin: Changing the Face of Windows Linux Journal |
| | Cygwin does not enable your computer to understand UNIX signals, pseudo-terminals (PTYs) and such; it only provides mappings of UNIX actions to the Windows platform. | | | Cygwin is a dynamic link library (DLL) that acts as a Linux API emulation layer. | | | I've been using Cygwin for years as a way to introduce windows users to the world of *nix and especially Linux, without the trauma of repartitioning their hard drive, flipping between boot environments, or the expense of VMWare. |
