What the other guy said. Cygwin is a set of libraries to compile and run GNU programs on Windows. It does not run existing Linux binaries and definitely does not translate Linux syscalls into Windows (that would be WSL v1). If recompiling is OK, I suggest starting with one of the BSDs, at least they have a fork() that works.
