User:Love4boobies/Cygwin as UNIX: Difference between revisions

In order to bring your Cygwin environment as close as possible to the UNIX System, you want to install at least the following packages, their dependencies, as well as the '''Base''' packages, and to set the <tt>POSIXLY_CORRECT</tt> environment variable. Note that some of these may be missing from the 64-bit distribution; you can find a full list [http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-64bit-missing here]. Furthermore, not all of these packages are necessarily useful for the purpose of OS development.

The following utilities cannot be found in any of the packages: <tt>admin</tt>, <tt>asa</tt>, <tt>at</tt>, <tt>batch</tt>, <tt>bg</tt>, <tt>cflow</tt>, <tt>compress</tt>, <tt>cxref</tt>, <tt>delta</tt>, <tt>fc</tt>, <tt>fg</tt>, <tt>get</tt>, <tt>jobs</tt>, <tt>localedef</tt>, <tt>mailx</tt>, <tt>newgrp</tt>, <tt>prs</tt>, <tt>qalter</tt>, <tt>qdel</tt>, <tt>qhold</tt>, <tt>qmove</tt>, <tt>qmsg</tt>, <tt>qreturn</tt>, <tt>qrls</tt>, <tt>qselect</tt>, <tt>qsig</tt>, <tt>qstat</tt>, <tt>qsub</tt>, <tt>rmdel</tt>, <tt>sact</tt>, <tt>sccs</tt>, <tt>uncompress</tt>, <tt>unget</tt>, <tt>uucp</tt>, <tt>uustat</tt>, <tt>uux</tt>, <tt>val</tt>, <tt>wait</tt>, <tt>what</tt>, and <tt>write</tt>.
