How can I use Cygwin under Ubuntu?

http://askubuntu.com – I have written a tiny application for Ubuntu, and it works great. I am interested in cross-compiling it for Windows. I have installed mingw32 from repository, and it compiles simple files very well. However, the app I want to compile for Windows uses some UNIX specific mechanism - for example it makes use of the sys/socket.h file, and the mingw compiler claims it can't find it. One solution is to install Cygwin on a Windows machine, and try compiling the application from there, using Cygwin executables. Unfortunately, I don't have access to any Windows machine, as I don't own a copy that sys (HowTos)

I'm not sure what I did, but I've somehow got Cygwin installed in such a way that even when I try to run an ordinary windows shell, Cygwin is interfering. I have batch scripts that I want to run in the default windows way that Cygwin complains about. I can't change them; I need to run them in the felaut shell.

mingw compiling fortran 16 weeks 23 hours ago

Hi All

I've notice that we have LAPACK dev libraries in the ubuntu repos but I was hoping to compile it for both ubuntu and windows using mingw.

my build system is hosted on ubuntu so I'd like to keep compiling on that server without having to send a build process to a windows machine so I was wondering if anyone here might know how I might do that?

The problem is that LAPACK needs a fort

I need a reverse shell from Windows to my virtual machine and I don't know any? I've tried poderosa and putty to no avail. Poderosa doesn't allow me to enter the required parameters and putty doesn't work. With putty I can give the parameters -R 9000:localhost:9000 but when I confirm my password in the login screen putty close the window? I've tried cygwin, too.

groff to PS Conversion 32 weeks 5 days ago

I am very new to UNIX, learning groff with the help of cygwin on Windows XP SP3.

I have downloaded groff-binaries from here, but using cygwin, I could not able to re-produce ps files.

I have used following command in cygwin:

$ groff grnexmpl.me > grnexmpl.ps

But, in generated grnexmpl.ps file, all special formatting are gone.

I've been so far unable to figure out why vim's syntax coloring is not working for most files, and it's driving me batty.

In case this is relevant: I'm working in Cygwin (more specifically/accurately the bash shell that comes with Git for Windows) because it's the only thing I've been able to smuggle into this Windows shop so far.
