Hi,

I'm new to Cygwin and have a couple of questions.

I have a Unix application which I have to port on Windows using Cygwin.

1] Are there any best practices for doing this.


Nothing I can recommend.  Just compile, link, and go.  If there's issues,
you'll see them in this process.


2] Secondly, if my application is using some 3rd party libraries then
should I have the windows versions of these 3rd party libraries.
What I mean is if my application is using say a shared object XYZ.so on
linux then to be able to compile my application on Windows using Cygwin,
can I use the same XYZ.so from linux or do I need to have XYZ.dll


You need to have Windows DLLs or libraries.
