Yes. > What other Unix tools are people using on Win32? What I've found so far: > - Cygwin > - MinGW > - GnuWin32 I use GnuWin32 builds. They are native Windows programs and are regularly updated whenever a new version is released. Sometimes the GnuWin32 pre-built binaries have bugs, in which case I download the sources, build them myself and debug the problem. That is, if reporting the bug to the GnuWin32 bug-tracker doesn't get responded quickly enough. > What I liked about UnxUtils is that it's "native" Win32, no dependencies on > DLL's or anything and no strange directory requirements (home dirs, /cygdir, > etc).

I'm using zsh ported several years ago, it is good enough for running Makefile's. _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
