Why does Cygwin work better than Wine?
Well why does cygwin work better than wine, pretty simple?
|
Cygwin implements the Unix API: small, stable, and well documented. WINE implements the Windows API: huge, gets updated with new versions of Windows, and poorly documented.
|
The thing that always floors me about Wine is how unbelievably huge it is. It makes me rather cringe at the thought of having to be a programmer on the Windows team in Redmond. (Of course, it also gives me a healthy respect :hattip: for their skill and abilities.)

Don't we have a copy of the win API (#include <windows.h>)? I know there's more in it that just that (wincon.h). Don't most major applications also ship with their own libraries?

I ment (wincon.h, etc.). And what about MSDN isn't that a mildly good piece of documentation on the WINAPI?
