Cygwin + ReactOS LiveCD
Cygwin is a linux-like library and environment for MS Windows.
Using Cygwin, it is easier to port various Linux applications to Windows.
Is it possible to use Cygwin with present version of ReactOS?
If ReactOS project is completed/Beta version, is it possible to create a Cygwin and ReactOS LiveCD?
Thank you.

Cygwin is supposed to work, there is even a ROS-modified version, so it should be possible, read this:

Re: Cygwin
Uhm, this is about running Cygwin GDB on Windows, connecting to the "gdb stub" in the ReactOS kernel. AFAIK, there are still problems with Cygwin on ReactOS.Jaix wrote:read this:

What's the main problem?
Re: Cygwin
Yes, I just thought that prooved Cygwin to run on ROS, my mistake, still some problems in other words...GvG wrote:Uhm, this is about running Cygwin GDB on Windows, connecting to the "gdb stub" in the ReactOS kernel. AFAIK, there are still problems with Cygwin on ReactOS.

I've never worked on getting Cygwin running, but I think I heard something about the Cygwin fork() implementation and Copy-On-Write.mily wrote:What's the main problem?
Cygwin is a big hack. Mainly develped to get Linux/Unix programs running on Win9X. Posix layer with Cygwin compad would be better.
Reason Posix layer can get the thread timing better than Cygwin as well as alot of other things better for speed less double handling.
Mingws Gdb works kinda.
WinNT already had a posix layer when Cygwin was formed. Ie it targets older version of windows not current.
Lets look at getting some performace out of it. Not a snail.

Windows' POSIX Subsystem is *heavily* outdated, it only supports parts POSIX 1.0. Also, it's not being actively developed and as far as i know, Windows XP doesn't include it anymore (i'm not sure about the latter though)oiaohm wrote:WinNT already had a posix layer when Cygwin was formed.

You can download Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) 3.5 from MS:

That's the latest posix subsystem for WinXP.
