GnuWin Reviews

Still works in 2025 in Win11 Pro x64 (tested: `Make`, `DifftUtils`, and `File`). You just have to add the `bin` directory of the installation folder to the Windows PATH variable.

good

very good

Probably good code, great functionality, but won't run on your Win10 PC until you manually configure a path properly. Try finding wget.exe in \Program Files (x86)\GnuWIn32\bin and add that directory to your path. Really sloppy installation and configuration, guys.

The problem with Linux tools on Windows is that there are actually too many projects. This means when the one person who created a great project for his computer science project loses interest, the project is dead. There is a gnu website, but it's focus is on Linux. The Linux subsystem for Windows 10 looks promising, but it's sources are controlled by Ubuntu and the project is controlled by Microsoft. One meta project with multiple contributors would be great. Of course, the obvious answer was mentioned in another post. Get Linux. If the project administrator doesn't like comments like this in ratings, then check in on the project once in a while, and open the Wiki and Discussion section to registered users.

Get a real Linux or go away, this is not what you are looking for, it will cause never ending pains with stuff depending on stuff depending on more stuff you do not have.

Basic tools, excelet work! Thank You!

It looks promising for my cwc project

Un excellent outil pour les développeurs habitués au shell Unix qui utilisent chez eux un PC "du commerce", donc sous Windows. On y trouve des commandes bien plus développées que dans le shell de Windows. Je recommande les commandes awk et grep qui n'ont pas d'équivalent dans Windows. Malheureus****t ce produit ne semble plus maintenu et la documentation est limite. Pour le man voir celui d'Unix le site die.net est pas mal pour atteindre la doc en ligne. A réserver aux Linuxiens anglophones avertis.

Wonderful! I can see source code for any web page directly from the command line. Thank you Free Software Foundation!

Gnuwin32 is perfect! Thanks.

Thank you for your work.

very good project, thanks!

Gnuwin32 works perfect.

A very very good project!

Superb

Well done

Thanks!

Very helpfull!

Cool!

Why don't the installers add the bin directory to the system path. It's so annoying having to add it manually each time. At least give the option in the installer GUI??!

I have used this program for and it is great. It is good to have apps available when the computer you are working on doesn't have that type of app installed.

All apps open source. Excellent. A top quality application.
