Hi all,
 
I made some executables under Linux and it is not running under Cygwin.
It says command is not supported, if I run the exe.
I installed the cygwin latest one and I am new to Unix / Cygwin. What
other package has to be installed. I installed the

Hi,
     the short answer is: it won't work. Executables (and libraries) 
produced in Linux (and for Linux) do not run in Cygwin. Executables (and 
libraries) produced in Cygwin do not run in Linux (unless Wine or 
similar is used).

The long answer is... well there are hundreds of brilliant persons in 
this list that can give you the long answer better than I could possibly do.

Ciao,
     Danilo

Cygwin is source compatible, not binary compatible with Linux.  This
means source code needs to be compiled specifically for Linux or
Cygwin.  This is true of many versions of UNIX and even between 32 and
64 bit versions of each OS.

"What Isn't Cygwin?
Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to 
rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows."
