For sure you'll have at least many if not infinity of problem with trying to compile directly with MS Visual Studio / Visual C++. Cygwin give you a somewhat more complete environment with a bash shell, the "standard" compiler that exists on Linux (gcc/clang), the make program and all the shell utilities used by most program compilation process. You can't normally simply do a "make" from a Windows command prompt and expect a good result for text application made for Linux. But with Cygwin, nearly all of the text application will compile, unless they try to access hardware directly, depend on specific Linux services that don't exist on Windows, etc. I'll make a little research for the software you named but if you give me references then it would be helpful. -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
