But if I understand you correctly, you were given ".so" binary files. You won't be able to just take compiled Linux code and run it in Cygwin: Cygwin is not UNIX.. Cygwin is a UNIX-like wrapper around Windows. Cygwin is not an emulator for Linux binaries.
Or maybe I misunderstood.
i think you didn't misunderstood him, but as an .so-file only contains some compiled code and links to other libraries, an .so-file may be made compatible to cygwin.
but this is to complicated, and i would recomm him, to use a remote-shell.
