| Cygwin is a fully separate (and native) unix system that can run within windows. | | Cygwin provides a unix-like environment to run processes under windows by translating unix syscalls.<br> |
| Cygwin emulates tools that are exclusive to linux (fork, mmap, ioctl, ...) by passing
| | It has no CLI package manager, but the installer can be scripted to install packages. |
| those calls to the cygwin.dll library.
| |
|
| |
|
| It's beautiful, you can even run an Xserver and have it integrate with your windows' windows.
| | = Notes = |
| You can also run a full linux desktop within your Xwindow (although it is much faster to just use a terminal).
| |
| | |
| Cygwin comes without a CLI package manager, but packages can still be installed automatically using the cygwin installer's commandline arguments.

| Cygwin is built to be able to be run in a portable way. You install, update, and get new packages by
| |
| re-running the cygwin installer.
| |
| | |
| Always install the 32 bit version of cygwin, unless you absolutely need it to be 64bit. It is much
| |
| more supported. Cygwin doesn't seem to require any registry keys to be set, the only things that
| |
| affect it's portability are some environment variables.
| |
| | |
| '''NOTE''' If you are using my package-setup script, always run it with a normal
| |
| cygwin http-repo as a source, reboot, then run with the private key for a cygports repo.
| |
| If you fail to do this, and run the cygports repo first, you may end up with corrupted packages.

| |
| Cygwin doesn't have a traditional package manager. There are a few terminal programs you
| |
| can use to emulate apt-get, but since on Windows files cannot be deleted or overwritten while they
| |
| are running it is best to quit cygwin, and install programs using the installer.
| |
| | |
| Because of cygwin's limited options in the default repo, I find myself compiling packages myself
| |
| quite a lot. I created a git repo for compiled (and attempts at compiling) programs for quick (manual)
| |
| installations on new machines.
| |
| | |
| There is also a system loosely based on Gentoo's portage to assist in compilation. It is called cygports,
| |
| and can be installed from the main package manager.

| |
| <blockquote>
| |
| Almost all issues related to cygwin can be resolved by rebasing. You can do it
| |
| the quick/dirty way:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| C:/cygwin/bin/dash.exe
| |
| /bin/rebaseall
| |
| | |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| Or the full proper way:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| | |
| - Open Task Manager and close any processes that look to be Cygwin related.
| |
| - Open C:\Cygwin\bin in Windows Explorer
| |
| - Verify that dash.exe, ash.exe, rebase.exe, and rebaseall exist in this folder
| |
| - If any of them are missing, re-run Cygwin setup and select the dash, ash, and rebase packages
| |
| | |
| - right-click your C:\Cygwin folder, uncheck Read-only (if its checked), and press OK.
| |
| - When an error about not being able to switch some files comes up, select "Ignore All". Wait for this process to complete.
| |
| | |
| - Browse to C:\Cygwin\bin in Windows Explorer
| |
| - Right click dash.exe and click "Run as Administrator". A command Prompt should appear with nothing but a $
| |
| - Type /usr/bin/rebaseall -v, hit enter, and wait for the process to complete.
| |
| - If you get errors about Cygwin processes running, try Step 1 again. If that still doesn't work, Restart your computer into safe mode and try these steps again.
| |
| - A commenter noted that, depending on your settings, you may have to type cd /usr/bin && ./rebaseall -v instead.
| |
| - Try opening Cygwin again.

| Cygwin does not by default include a CLI package manager. Instead, you run cygwin.exe with the flag
| |
| 'config', which updates your existing cygwin (labeled as installation, but only checks for missing/out
| |
| of date files). I have included the option of running 'CygwinPers.bat --config'. There are package
| |
| managers available for cygwin, such as apt-cyg, but they're pretty awful. It is much better to just
