Why that question? We simply need to provide clear instructions on what
packages to install on popular Linux distros to get these things to
compile. Dhiru?
That said, last time I checked Cygwin-built programs were mostly
non-working on Wine. Some trivial things worked, but most did not.
I do find it weird that Cygwin is a lot more Wine-unfriendly than many
proprietary libraries are. Apparently, developers of both Cygwin and
Wine found little reason to work on making these two compatible,
although I hope this will be changing. It'd be convenient for me to be
able to build John/Cygwin releases (intended for Windows) on Wine.
