Is Cygwin installer a platform specific ? How to >install cygwin in unix environment ? Cygwin is a *WINDOWS* program. The Cygwin installer is a *WINDOWS* program. Both are, of course, platform specific. You can't install them on UNIX. All of the utilities that are part of the Cygwin package come from UNIX, however. You can build them for yourself but Cygwin has nothing to do with this. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
