Are you cross-compiling?  When you say .so that is also for Linux/Unix.

Again, the .bin extension is not used in Cygwin, it is probably just an ima=
ge
(that's the bin(ary) extension for).  Try the command "file hldsupdatetool.=
bin"
to see if the file's format is recognized.

And Valve distributes this compiler?  Whithout a complete SDK?

Not really.  I don't know the development environment Valve or somebody else
made; and I don't know how the dedicated server for Windows is constructed,
perhaps they are emulating Linux in some way and even using/loading dynamic
libraries made for Linux.  It is possible, but I don't know.

I think it would be better to ask your question on the Valve developers for=
um,
don't you think?   We can only guess at what you are doing and probably don=
't
solve anything.
