Hello, This might be a stupid question but is it possible to install Linux software onto Cygwin.
I currently have Cygwin + 3.1.4 KDE installed on my Windows XP box. I've downloaded (wget) a tar file of the Java J2EE SDK v1.3.1 and installed it using the following command provided on Sun's website: tar xvzf j2sdkee-1_3_1-linux.tar.gz After following a few easy instructions for setting env variables, it doesn't work when I try to launch it using the command: j2ee - verbose? These commands and set up are all explained in 'Head First EJB' book. I don't know if it won't work because Cygwinis a port of the linux OS and you can therefore only install the ported utilites that are already provided by Cygwin such as Nedit or if i am doing something wrong? Any advice is appreciated..
