Cygwin and MinGW -


i'm trying make decision whether install cygwin. i'm using tdm-gcc 64bit compiler on windows 7.

due few ridiculous build issues whenever build on windows (libraries etc) wanted confirm of assumptions correct. have looked @ website , number of forum posts still aren't sure have complete grasp of does. confirm or deny below.

1 - cygwin provides set of tools gnu tools etc can utilized compile programs, create makefiles, more, etc.

2 - cygwin provides command line interface building programs (unix like)?

3 - cygwin provides compatibility layer emulates unix or posix framework?

4 - if have cygwin don't need use tdm-gcc 64bit compiler cygwin provides it's own compiler. (what compiler called, i'm not sure)?

5 - if compile program in c++ using cygwin on windows, can run binary on pc windows installed if cygwin not installed on pc?

thanks, realize these menial questions cygwin mailing lists take weeks respond questions thought ask programming community instead..

1: yes

2: yes, default bash other available

3: yes

4: gcc . possible install gcc cross compiler cygwin mingw64.

5: in theory yes need pack needed libraries. not recommended. can use cross compiler.
