- Subject: .exe magic in Cygwin
Hello,
I would like to estimate the expenses to port general linux sources to Cygwin.
I did look into Cygwins patch for coreutils. It has 1231 lines of diff
code. A lot of the stuff is related to the ".exe" magic done by
cygwin.
Do I have to implement that magic in this extend into every package
that I would like to run on Cygwin or is this rather special in the
case of coreutils?
Thank you for advice
Al
