Why do you express that statement as a "smiley "?
Cygwin and the tools it provides are very helpful for many computational needs.

Thanks for the URL.  I will check it out.

I eventually want to build the Linphone application. (https://www.linphone.org/)
It's current MS Windows port is out of date, crashes spuriously, and is not 
current.
I do not wish to use Skype and consider it's use of private data is not 
desirable.

However, I am starting with a simple GNU library, readline, to get the hang of 
using
MinGW64 Win-Builds environment.


Since many applications and lbraries from the *nix platform use a configure 
script, a shell is needed to run it.  Does such a shell exist which uses 
Microsfot pathname formats?
