In addition to "cygwin", which has a large overhead, the same project has another package called, I think, "mingw". Unlike cygwin, which requires a cygwin dll to be on the system, and is GPL'ed, mingw compiles are standalone and can be used to generate non-GPL'ed executables (I think I'm correct there, net lawyers will complain if I'm not :) I've not, but I wonder if anyone has tried to get a set of amanda client executables built under mingw and using the previously mentioned tarNT? BTW, the mingw package would be another way to build the selfcheck/true executable without a full IDE. -- Jon H.
