It's not an issue of whether Cygwin supports RPMs. It's an issue of trying to install a Linux executable on Cygwin. It doesn't matter whether it's packaged in an RPM, it's still a Linux binary, not a Cygwin binary. > It seems, however, that now I have faced a problem with GLIBC, which is > required to update GCC, that I won't be able to deal with (and I haven't > updated libstdc++ due to this yet)... From the Cygwin FAQ (which I strongly recommend reading): Where is glibc? Cygwin does not provide glibc. It uses newlib instead, which provides much (but not all) of the same functionality. Porting glibc to Cygwin would be difficult. THC-Hydra claims that it builds fine on Cygwin.
