Hi,

I'm new to Cygwin and have a couple of questions.

 
I have a Unix application which I have to port on Windows using Cygwin.

1] Are there any best practices for doing this.

2] Secondly, if my application is using some 3rd party libraries then
should I have the windows versions of these 3rd party libraries.
What I mean is if my application is using say a shared object XYZ.so on
linux then to be able to compile my application on Windows using Cygwin,
can I use the same XYZ.so from linux or do I need to have XYZ.dll 

Thanks in advance. 

Regards

Ram
