Cygwin provides native integration of Windows-based applications, data, and other system resources with applications, software tools, and data of the Unix-like environment. Thus it is possible to launch Windows applications from the Cygwin environment, as well as to use Cygwin tools and applications within the Windows operating context. +Cygwin consists of two parts: a dynamic-link library (DLL) as an API compatibility layer in the form of a C standard library providing a substantial part of the POSIX API functionality, and an extensive collection of software tools and applications that provide a Unix-like look and feel. +</blockquote> + +The result, as you can see, is quite impressive. + +{% include gallery caption="**Remmina** on Cygwin" %} + +So while you wait or you write ;-) the code to port Remmina natively to Windows, enjoy it, as usual for Free(tm), with Cygwin and find some time to say thanks and cheers to Donofrio. |
