I have egcs 1.0.2 but haven't given much time to it yet. I'm trying to release a mingw32 supplement package that will aid in porting UNIX code to native win32. I hope to announce sometime in May it's availability. If your running under bash then set the CYGWIN32 with notty. I have mine set like this "SET CYGWIN32=notty nobinmode notitle". The cygnus version of make will work in MSDOS mode. If your makefile has forward slashes "/" in the path structure and uses the colon ":" as the path delimiter you must "SET MAKE_MODE=unix", otherwise it MAKE_MODE must not be set. I did notice the differences in operation with version b18 of bash, but haven't noticed it with version b19 of bash and the CYGWIN32 set with notty. - \\||// ---o0O0--Earnie--0O0o---- --earnie_boyd AT yahoo DOT com-- ------ooo0O--O0ooo------- PS: I've found with Mingw32 "text!=binary" works really well. PPS: The use of the "/" slash as a directory delimiter is only a limitation imposed by cmd.exe/command.com and is not a limitation imposed by the called functions. PPPS: The default open mode for reading a file will read both \n and \r\n without concern. The default open mode for writing a file will always write \r\n. ---Kevin Hughes wrote: > > > I have tried to use some executables compiled with a mingw32 version of egcs ( supplied by Mumit Khan) but don't > appear to get the output from the program.
