Compilling squid

Compilling squid

[Andrew Thompson]

Some people have sucessfull compiled squid on the latest gnu-win32. I have
the EGCs compillers and lots of librarys but I still need a number or
things like regex_t, timegm, tm.tm_gmtoff ,timezone or time_t.

Am I wasting my time if I try to go to one of the GNU ftp servers and take
the source for these librarys and compile them ??? I am new to unix
programming.

ftp client corrupts binary files with ^m ??

[Andrew Thompson]

I have ftp.exe installed on my system. When I get text files from other
servers ftp works OK but when I set ftp to 'bin' and get a binary file the
file comes out a little larger and (I Think) it has ^m's inserted into the
binary code, hence it does not run.

Do I need to mount everyting as "text=bin" on my system currently
everyting is text=!bin??

I do not understand how this system translates text files from unix type
to dos type.

When ftp starts up it is in text (ascii) mode which does EOL
conversion("End-of Line" gets converted from 'LF' on Unix to 'CRLF' on DOS)

You have to change the transfer type to binary mode: Simply type "bin" as an
abbreviation for "binary". You can check the transfer type set with "type" or
with "status".

BTW: For help with ftp type "help" or "help <command>"Guido

Assume that the ftp was written for a unix machine, and that the
author did not bother opening files as binary instead of text, so use
bin at all times anyway.

DOS's crlf configuration sucks - period
