How do you run a binary file that neither Windows nor Cygwin can execute?

Cygwin doesn't execute Linux executables, so you cannot just run a Linux binary that way.

Cygwin doesn't execute Linux executables, so you cannot just run a Linux binary that way. In order to execute something under Cygwin, you need to specifically compile it for that. Therefore, I think you're just going to have to run it on a Linux box or VM.

Use a 'file' utility to determine the type of binary first ...

I think there are more information you need to know to run an application. Is it 32bit or 64bit? Executable compiled for windows or linux?

What libraries/platforms/applications does it depend on?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
