Subject: Can MKS Toolkit and Cygwin safely co-exist on Windows servers?
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 00:54:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADex0xxJB45bX66GMTbVwG9kk0k8F2F2fG-on7p9U_ke_Qi0Uw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi;

  I now work in a Windows-centric build and release environment.

  The MKS Toolkit currently exists on most (if not all) of the Windows servers.

  If I were to install Cygwin, would it conflict with MKS Toolkit?

  Secondly, I'm really confused about 32bit versus 64bit servers;
should I just use 32bit Cygwin to be sure?

  I'd like to eventually replace MKS Toolkit with Cygwin if everything
works out.

  I have the feeling that I'm wading into the deep part of the pool
and I don't know how to swim :-)

  Thanks in advance for advice and pointers.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
