   Is Cygwin required to use GCC on Windows?

   • GCC is just one of the many C/C++ compilers out there. @Celeritas Cygwin is not required to use GCC on Windows, MinGW (-w64) is (to provide system headers and libraries). It is desirable to have GCC on Windows, because it has better C++11 language support (library is still lacking in view of MSVS2012), fortran, C99 (C11 upcoming) support, etc...

   Does Cygwin run on Windows?

   • Note that Cygwin also provides Cygwin to Win32 cross-compilers: these run on the Cygwin platform but produce native Win32 executables. Another player, MSYS, is a lightweight fork of Cygwin, which provides only the minimum amount of tools to run autotools build scripts on Windows.

   What data model does Cygwin use?

   • The 64 bit Cygwin compilers use a different data model than the Mingw and Microsoft compilers. For reference, see the Wikipedia entry on 64-bit computing. While the Mingw and Microsoft compilers use the LLP64 data model, Cygwin compilers use the LP64 data model, just like Linux. This affects the size of the type long.
