Re: [Bug-gnubg] Re: compiling gnubg for windows (fwd)

Hi!

I'll try a little more with cygwin since I've been using those
for about 6 years now and am quite used to them. Also the mingw stuff
does not seem to have ls tr grep and a UNIX shell does it?

Do you actually compile from a DOS shell? I have been able to avoid those
since the beginning and do everything from tcsh.

I'll let you know how it goes with your other suggestions.

Thanks!
Kees
