title: Compile old C++ unix application for using in windows
body: <p>I need to have a windows executable for some code which was written in 1994 for UNIX. I tried to do this from cygwin environment. The C++ standard was changed from this time and the standard libraries too.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to use -std= and -traditional-cpp options, but that options didn't helped me at all. I also found that -fno-for-scope and -fno-operator-names reduced number of errors. Also input/output libraries was changed significantly from that time. I also think that there is some possibility that predefined (by preprocessor) macroses is changed from that time too.</p>
