Subject: Is CygWin the thing for UNIX compatible web development on Windows?
Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 03:15:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <001201c10abc$054f5860$1b00a8c0@purpledell> (raw)
Hi list,
I would be grateful for even a simple yes/no answer to my dilemma... (I am
completely new to CygWin and I did read the FAQ)
I want to use my Windows computer to develop a web site that will be hosted
on UNIX and needs to use some UNIXy features; symbolic links, the passwd
program for controlling HTaccess password files and some sort of email
sender (sendmail?).
I am currently using the Win32 ports of Apache, PHP4, MySQL and Perl and
this works great but I am unable to use the features I mentioned above. Is
CygWin a likely solution to my problem? I presume I'll also need to find
CygWin compatible binary distros of Apache, PHP4, MySQL and Perl (I don't
want to convert/compile them myself).
Thanks for your advice,
Raith
