  Cygwin tools are ports of GNU development tools for Microsoft Windows. Running thanks to Cygwin library which provides POSIX system calls and environment these programs expect.

  With this tool is installed, it is possible to write a Windows console or GUI applications that use significant parts of the POSIX API. As a result, it is possible to easily port many Unix programs without the need for comprehensive changes to the source code. Including configuring and build GNU software is available (including the package included with Cygwin development tools themselves) as well as many BSD tools and packages (including OpenSSH). Even if the development tools of little or no use to you, you may have an interest in many standard POSIX utilities provided with the package.

Cygwin does:

• way to run Linux applications natively on Windows. You have to rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.
• a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX functions such as signaling, ptys, etc. Again, it is necessary to build applications from source if desired to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.
