The MASM32 package is a mature project providing support for the Windows API under Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) by using custom made or converted headers and libraries from the Platform SDK. Flat assembler FASM allows building Windows programs without using an external linker, even when running on Linux.
The Microsoft Windows operating system and Microsoft Windows SDK support a collection of shared libraries that software can use to access the Windows API.This article provides an overview of the core libraries that are included with every modern Windows installation, on top of which most Windows applications are built.
The main MSYS2 environment provides a package manager (Pacman from Arch Linux), a bash shell, and other Unix programs.

Bob Amstadt, the initial project leader, and Eric Youngdale started the Wine project in 1993 as a way to run Windows applications on Linux.It was inspired by two Sun Microsystems products, Wabi for the Solaris operating system, and the Public Windows Interface, [10] which was an attempt to get the Windows API fully reimplemented in the public domain as an ISO standard but rejected due to ...
Microsoft Detours is an open source library for intercepting, monitoring and instrumenting binary functions on Microsoft Windows. [1] It is developed by Microsoft and is most commonly used to intercept Win32 API calls within Windows applications.
A problem on Linux systems with installing packages from a different distributor is that the resulting long chain of dependencies may lead to a conflicting version of the C standard library (e.g. the GNU C Library), on which thousands of packages depend. If this happens, the user will be prompted to uninstall all of those packages.
The Native API is a lightweight application programming interface (API) used by Windows NT's kernel and user mode applications. This API is used in the early stages of Windows NT startup process, when other components and APIs are still unavailable.
