first CygWin and MinGW are really NOT linux operating systems

CygWin can RUN some ( about 70 to 80% ) of linux programs on Microsoft Windows
BUT ( and this is a VERY BIG ONE) it uses a emulatio0n DLL "cygwin1.dll" and everything has to pass through that ONE file
-------------
MinGW BUILDS!!!!! linux source code into MICROSOFT!!!! .exe files and by using "dlltool" can convert the linux "so" files to MICROSOFT.dll's

but it also can only build about 70% to 80% of Linux code



I take it you have NOT READ the very VAST amount of documents on the cygwin website

https://www.cygwin.com/

and there is a even LARGER amount of documentation and guides

type " cygwin " into google and hit enter



mind you cygwin is TERMINAL ONLY !!!

there are NO gui's
no graphics

just the text ONLY terminal

for graphics you need to install X and a desktop
