cygwin是一个在windows平台上运行的unix模拟环境，是cygnus solutions公司开发的自由软件（该公司开发了很多好东西，著名的还有eCos，不过现已被Redhat收购）。它对于学习unix/linux操作环境，或者从unix到windows的应用程序移植，或者进行某些特殊的开发工作，尤其是使用gnu工具集在windows上进行嵌入式系统开发，非常有用。随着嵌入式系统开发在国内日渐流行，越来越多的开发者对cygwin产生了兴趣。本文将对其作一介绍。-cygwin is one of the windows platform running on the Unix simulation environment is cygnus solutions developed by free software (the company has developed a lot of good things, there are the famous eCos, but has been acquired by Redhat). It learning unix / linux operating environment, or from Unix to Windows applications transplant, or for some special development work, particularly the use of gnu tool set in windows on embedded systems development, very useful. As embedded systems development in the increasingly popular, more and more developers have the right cygwin interest. This article will give a brief introduction on.
