We urgently need to write a C program for a bunch of processes (pipe (), fork (), etc.). One problem - I'm on Windwos 7, but for now I can't install Linux. They advised to install Cygwin, and then what to do - I have no idea. An unexpected question - what's next? How to connect Cygwin and VS, if the first one helps compile a Linux project on Windows?

You're confused, cygwin is a replacement for Visual Studio and the rest of the MS environment for people who want to quickly feel for some reason that Linux feeling ™ without actually installing Linux. There is a separate gcc compiler.
In addition, now you can easily put Linux on a virtual machine and do everything you need in it.

- Hmm, now clear. The resources of the machine do not allow to install a virtual machine, and I rarely write programs for Linux - master_clown
- @master_clown You can put an axis in parallel (in another disk partition). - Athari
- @Athari, I was so, until it became clear that 160 GB for each axis is not too small. - master_clown
- cygwin is not so much a replacement as a Linux interface to everything that is in Windows, including Visual Studio. As far as I remember, gcc in cygwin just launches Visual Studio tools for compilation. - mega
