No.

That is not that aim of the Cygwin project.

It may not be the aim but is it possible? 
Kind of the reverse of the WINE project.

Not with cygwin, perhaps you are looking for http://line.sourceforge.net/

... however line uses cygwin. It emulates the linux system call interface using
a system driver and redirects the system calls to the cygwin1.dll.

Some month ago I've investigated some time to try out while starting the kde 2
port and got running some linux apps and some x applications like xserver,
xclock, xterm from a suse linux 7.1 distribution, but is was very very slow.

Though this seems to me as an interesting idea, because if such an interface (of
course more performant) would be a part of cygwin, one can install binary rpm's
from a redhat or suse or other distribution cd and woulb be able to run it
directly.

Also, it might be possible to port Jeff Dike's user-mode-linux to cygwin:

http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/

It runs linux kernel as a user mode process and is able to execute normal
ia32 linux binaries.

I believe UML uses some interfaces that cygwin does not yet support, though.

This is (almost) exactly what somebody is doing (actually porting to
windows using Line) :-

RE: linux binaries

[John Vincent]

Hi,

For What Its Worth:

The LINE project is (I think) exactly what you're after.

It's at http://line.sourceforge.net. I checked out the
code and compiled it using cygwin 1.10 and it seemed to
work OK. It's not easy to use though - and it seems no-one
is working on it anymore!

Regards,
/John Vincent.

linux binaries

[pasquale leone]

I don't know much about OSs but.....
is it possible (eventually) using your
dll's to run linux binaries 
straight out of the box (ie without recompiling)?
