[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: inetutils-1.5-4

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: inetutils-1.5-4

[cygwin]

I've updated inetutils to version 1.5-4. Because 1.5-3 was only recently 
released, and itself represented a major change from the previous 
1.3.2-40 version, I encourage you to read also this information:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2008-04/msg00043.html

Changes since 1.5-3
=============================
* no longer requires custom cygport
* fixed bug in ftpd that prevented large file transfers
   with recent 1.5.x cygwin kernels. Reported by antony baxter.
   (worked around by disabling MMAP and limiting buffer sizes
   to 4k).
* fixed info file's index and internal navigation menus.
   Reported by Rodrigo Medina.
* ftp client uses readline (links statically)

rsh user@host command

 and
 
rcp ...

work fine under inetd but when running under xinetd both just return
with returncode 1.

rsh user@host, telnet, ftp and talk work just fine now under both inetd
and xinetd.

Ciao

Cygwin = cross platform (one way)?

[Longyu Mei]

I don't know if this question should be asked here or
not.

I have a small socket server application running on
Linux. It uses Unix socket libraries and also do some
file operations. I am wondering if I can compile it
with Cygwin without any changes on my code?

If yes, that means Cygwin is kind of tool to make an
application being cross platform from Linux to
Windows? So it cam replace ACE and Boost for those
start from Linux?

Please just send your comments to me if any if this
question should not be posted here.

thanks,

James

It's fair to ask this question here but it is frowned
upon to do so by replying to a message in another thread
and changing the subject.  Please don't do this.

I think the answer to your general inquiry is:

<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.what>

Whether Cygwin makes your particular port possible without
any code changes is something you'll need to determine
for yourself though.
