#### 3.1.2 Cygwin (Windows) build environment

If Cygwin hasn’t already been installed, install it directly from http://www.cygwin.com/.

When tinc is compiled in a Cygwin environment, it can only be run in this environment, but all programs, including those started outside the Cygwin environment, will be able to use the VPN. It will also support all features.
