How to add a kernel module on Cygwin?

I would like to add a kernel module on Cygwin, however the modprobe command is not supported by Cygwin and I was unable to find any solution to this.

I am interested in this to add Fuse support in Cygwin. I have already done a first quick adaptation to Fuse and have been able to build it on Cygwin (the three steps ./configure && make && make install are done) but, as described above, the last modprobe step doesn't work.

Does someone know where I can find a modprobe version for Cygwin or how I can do without it (are there any alternative)?

Thanks

Solution

  • Cygwin is not Linux and does not support kernel modules. Therefore, there is no modprobe command, and FUSE will not work on Cygwin.
