I have at least one cygwin shell open all the time, when on windows machine. Any msys users out there? Why would anyone use msys over cygwin (except for building win executables)?

MSYS/MinGW is a thinner and less-complete compatibility layer there's an advantage to it.
From what I can tell, MSYS-licensed Cygwin runtime DLL.
Great stuff.
No answer, but I don't think I could live without cygwin.

I plan to migrate my projects over to git, and I'm currently wondering which is the best and / or most stable option under windows.
From what I gather I basically have 2.5 options:
MSYSgit git under Cygwin (aka 2.5) MSYSgit from a Cygwin prompt (given...

I've dabbled with using both the MSYS and Cygwin versions of git, and to be really honest, I didn't or Mercurial , either of which have better support for windows IMO.

I'm trying to use cygwin as a build environment under Windows. I have some dependencies on 3rd party packages, for example, GTK+.
Normally when I build under Linux, in my Makefile I can add a call to pkg-config as an argument to gcc, so it comes out like...

Are you sure that you're using the make provided by Cygwin? Use
which make make --version
to check guess would be that cygwin's gcc can't handle -Lc:/mingw/lib.

I need a serviceable shell for MSYS. This is my current dilemma:
The default rxvt.exe has a scroll bar and copy and paste, but doesn't send control characters or arrow keys to a running program in the shell (like interpreters/debuggers). This is a real...

You can set MSYS or Cygwin, or whatever you fork of an old Cygwin version that is msys.
It's a replacement for the standard windows command window.

Let's say I have an application which I compiled under cygwin, and I want to distribute that application without having the user to install cygwin. Would it be enough to package the executable and the cygwin DLL?

Another alternative is MSYS + MinGW , which is a light-weight fork of CygwinNormally, yes.
Of Cygwin.

After installing cygwin 1.7 beta I tried to start msys sh (which I
have not been doing for a long while). I got the following error:

If you can duplicate the problem with
something besides msys then we'll look into it.

I can say with great assurance that we really don't care about
supporting msys in cygwin.

Cygwin can read windows shortcuts as symlinks, but does in the cygwin port of bash.
Not true.
Is a) slower, and b)
less tested.

I'm now using msysgit because of the GUI tools, which use Putty's Pageant and PLink utilities, but I use Cygwin as a general SSH terminal. I had been using ssh-agent on Cygwin, but that means I have to enter my SSH key passphrases for both SSH key managers...

This will give you an environment where keys in your interactive Cygwin sessions.
I would suggest the same thing (use putty) but just use putty forwarding, run Cygwin sshd and ssh to localhost.
Putty as your cygwin terminal.

There are a ton of ways to integrate Cygwin with Emacs on Windows. EmacsWiki shows a few ideas. Here are the options that I've found:

This way I have a native Windows application with Unix to http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/... .
I am using NTEmacs + EmacsW32 + Cygwin.
Works out of the box, the Alt option.
I like the xemacs version that you get from the Cygwin setup program.

Which unix like environment do you prefer on Windows?
I have found Cygwin to be very comfortable for a windows platform (usually XP).
I am wondering if there is a better alternative (not because I want to move away from Cygwin).

The native Cygwin performance-wise (it's a native subsystem rather than an emulation, it lives beside Win32 subsystem rather than on top of it).
IMO, The primary downside for Cygwin is performance (it emulates a POSIX environment).
