What is gnuwin32




















The complete list of commands are:. Note: In the above list of executables, we have included the dependency files as well the libiconv2. If you are using the ZIP file for installing, just extract the files and dependency files into a folder or directory.

Run the command prompt in windows, and go to that directory. Then execute the desired files. As mentioned in the opening paragraph, gnuwin32 is very old. The files in the ZIP file are from May You don't need Cygwin if you have this.

This application will help you building a working tree whose location you can add to the PATH variable in Windows. Perhaps the most interesting feature is the possibility of selecting which packages you want to install - only a small subset of the whole collection is required for TWiki operation: Ls.

As an alternative, use RCSLite in configure. The RCS homepage has links to a native win32 port, which works in the command line but appear to fail when used by TWiki. Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It only takes a minute to sign up. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I am a Windows user who wants programs like grep and sed along with other utilities like ls, cut etc in my command prompt.

I came across 2 packages which would accomplish this. I would like to know what is the difference between the two both feature wise and more importantly performance wise before I choose between them. Is this correct? Note by Barlop this question was asking about coreutils and unxutils, but since he was talking about grep and sed, it's clear he meant to ask about gnuwin32 and unxutils, and that is a much more useful and important question than the mistaken one.

If people want to revert it to coreutils and unxutils then i'd be happy to go with that and post another question for gnuwin32 and unxutils. Also, any proper answer to his original question would correct or answer regarding his mistake but also answer what he meant.

So there's no loss in correcting his question. Gnuwin32 has a much larger number of utilities. That's obviously a major advantage. With unxutils, you can run into issues as it uses really old versions, and when looking for help people will expect you to have the latest version of this or that command. On two different occasions i've run into bugs in gnuwin32 grep which have been fixed in later versions of grep and cygwin's grep was much later and fine and can be run straight from cmd.

Gnuwin32 involves a wizard to install various bits, and even some individual utilities have to be installed separately like a setup executable for wget, one for grep e.

Bear in mind though they are older versions so if possible, if not being too lazy, one would generally see if gnuwin32 has it. The unxutils sourceforge link has unxutils. That can help e. The unxupdates one is from and does. The gnuwin32 sed, as of writing, is from Comparing gnuwin32 to unxutils, generally look to Gnuwin32, but know that unxutils has some advantages.. Gnuwin32 has almost all the commands that unxutils has, plus a lot more.

And also, look to Cygwin, it has a huge collection of utilities kept much more up to date than gnuwin32, they should be run from cygwin's bash shell, which is fine by me , you generally don't really need to look at something ancient and not updated like unxutils, though it does have pclip and gclip. The two most impressively featured for me are gnuwin32 and cygwin and cygwin has xxd and a working tail -f.
