HI All!
This is my first message on this list.
And probably such question was already discussed, excuse if that.
Also excuse for bad English.
I try to build under Window NT the project from linux. I use b19+egcc1.1
In one of Makefile of this project there are such lines:
....
echo "text string" > RESULT_FILE
cat BINARY_FILE >> RESULT_FILE
....
It (cat BINARY_FILE > SOME_FILE) works on linux, but not in Windows...
The "cat" program for some reason perceives some symbols:
#cat BINARY_FILE
LGot 1
JS ¦ Got 2
~Got 21
Got 1
H>Got 2
= Got 2
Got 19
Got 1
Got 14
Bad escape 53 (5)
Got 2
¦¦^ Got 23
Got 14
#E Got 30
Got 23
' Got 19
Got 1
Got 14
Bad escape 53 (5)
...
And at last, the result of the command "cat BINARY_FILE > SOME_FILE"
- SOME_FILE turns out of smaller length. Unless it is correct?
And still wanted to take an interest, whether there is for cygwin32
a pthreads library(posix threads)?
