ezwinports Reviews

Thank you very much eli-zaretskii for all the effort you put into this project, not just GAWK, all of the collection of ports to Windows. My upgrade to Gawk 5.2.0 took only a few minutes and tests perfectly against my critical tests. The external dll's still work fine, so nothing additional was required. I am trying to make a transition to more Unix-based software and your ezwinports eases the way. Kudos!

I need this for GNU make. Works like a charm, faster than MSYS and much faster than Cygwin. I have only one issue with it: colorized output is totally not working from make with $(info), and color tags are often broken when multiple threads write colorized output into the same console. And it's not possible to ask questions / report issues as tickets cannot be created.

Just what I was looking for, thank you! Note that the libgcc DLL is not easy to find. I found it in osdn.net/projects/mingw/releases as provided by the author, but there's more to be done from that page... so, show "LibGCC-1.DLL (32-Bit GCC-9.2.0) " then, download libgcc-9.2.0-3-mingw32-dll-1.tar.xz, use 7-zip or equivalent to open the downloaded file, click thru the tar file into the bin/ directory and libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is the libgcc DLL that your tool will need (in my case, gawk).

Just installed GNU Make. Thanks! :)

Thanks Eli!

Thank you. Try the libpng one and it works.

I would like to thank the author for providing these ports of unix-like utilities to the MS Windows environment. It makes working on Windows more bearable. I am a long time user of various unix platforms ( HPUX , Solaris , Linux) and have come to depend on utilities like sed, grep, and gawk (or awk) just to name a few. I just created my SourceForge login so I could write this review. LarryM
