This is my first message on this list. And probably such question was already discussed, excuse if that. Also excuse for bad English. I try to build under Window NT the project from linux. I use b19+egcc1.1 In one of Makefile of this project there are such lines: .... echo "text string" > RESULT_FILE cat BINARY_FILE >> RESULT_FILE .... It (cat BINARY_FILE > SOME_FILE) works on linux, but not in Windows... The "cat" program for some reason perceives some symbols: #cat BINARY_FILE LGot 1 JS ¦ Got 2 ~Got 21 Got 1 H>Got 2 = Got 2 Got 19 Got 1 Got 14 Bad escape 53 (5) Got 2 ¦¦^ Got 23 Got 14 #E Got 30 Got 23 ' Got 19 Got 1 Got 14 Bad escape 53 (5) .... And at last, the result of the command "cat BINARY_FILE > SOME_FILE" - SOME_FILE turns out of smaller length. Unless it is correct? And still wanted to take an interest, whether there is for cygwin32 a pthreads library(posix threads)? -- WBR, /sancho - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
