Dear Sir/Madam,
Last week I sent a question message on the Internet about how and what tools can
be used to port code from UNIX to NT. All the responses to my question suggest
me to use GNU-WIN32.
I have looked at both http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32 and
ftp://ftp.cugnus.com/gnu-win32/latest .
I also read the GNU on-line documentation and would like to check with you to
confirm that I can use GNU-WIN32 to do our job.
Our code is only used to build background executable on UNIX currently. We have
summerised most of the call of C system routines and MCAST utility. They are
mainly in the following categories.
1) Spawn of child processes : fork, system, execl ...
2) User or group IDs : getpwnam, getpwid, getgrnam ...
3) IO control : ioctl
4) Socket IO : socket, bind, accept, listen, send, recv ...
5) File and Directory : open, close, fput, fget, link, opendir, chdir, mkdir ...
6) Pipe IO : popen, pclose ...
7) Signal Handling : sigaction
8) Network addresses : gethostent, gethostbyaddr ...
9) Environment access : getenv, putenv ...
10) Shared memory : shmget, shmat, shmdt, shmctl
11) Multicast daemon developed by the University of California.
It would be very much appreciated if you could either indicate us whether our
code might be ported easily from UNIX to NT by using GNU-WIN32 directly or with
some change to our code or point out what might be the problem areas from the
above list.
Thanks in advance,
Yuxin Zhao

None of these calls exist as of yet. They won't be in the next
release either. Of the other categories you listed, there are some
other problematic calls but I don't have time to do the necessary
poking around the sources...
