quantenzitrone,

lol wine and cygwin inception

LeFantome,

My guess is that somebody has some important “Windows” application that they need to run that is calling into Cygwin. That means that the proper way to run it on Linux is almost certainly just to port it from Cygwin to Linux native. How do you do this though if somebody else wrote the code?

Pretty funny though.

youngGoku,

What windows applications use cygwin?

waigl,

cygwin hangs during installation at libzstd1-1.5.5-1

This bug report must mean that someone, somewhere, for some reason was running cygwin under wine and cared enough about that that they would create a bug report when it failed…
