Porting Unix code to Windows 95 / Windows NT

Wed Oct 28 04:06:00 GMT 1998

Hello,
I am Aldo MAZZILLI from INRIA Rhone-Alpes (FRANCE), I am working on a
project dealing with porting of a Unix code to
win 95 and NT, for that I have already downloaded b19-CDK.EXE.
Some problems occur when I'm trying to port little Shell Scripts or
C-programs on Windows 95a (with Internet Explorer 4.0) using CygnusWin32
Bourne Shell (sh).
Here are the principal ones :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1) How can I get users and groups informations (/etc/passwd ,
/etc/group)

 * mkpasswd returns error : 
 "MKPASSWD.EXE is link to a missing exportation NETAPI32.DLL :
 NetUserEnum
 * mkgroup
 "MKGROUP.EXE is link to a missing exportation NETAPI32.DLL :
 NetApiBufferFree
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2a) Bin commands execution
 $ groups
 returns 'groups : permission denied' under /bin/sh
 Why ??
 NB : a)The PATH contains '.'
 b)This command works correctly under the bash shell
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2b) Shell scripts execution
 $ ls -lisa test
returns 198072740 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 2176 Oct 26 16:30 test
and after $ chmod 777 test
 $ ls -lisa
always returns :
 198072740 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 2176 Oct 26 16:30 test
 How can I execute my 'test' script shell without using './test'
 or 'sh test'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
3) How can I simulate EOF
 CTRL-D is not recognized as End-of-File character when
executing 
 a C program compiled with gcc compiler.
 NB : CTRL-D is recognized under the bash shell.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Which command can I use instead of 'more' or 'pg'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5) gcc compiler :

 Which differences can I find between Solaris gcc 
 (version 2.7.2.3) and your gcc
 For example :
 Considering : void main () 
 {
 return 0; 
 }

 gcc compilation returns
 warning: return type of 'main' is not int
!! 

 when SunOS gcc returns nothing
 What can I do to avoid this correction :
 int main () 
 {
 return 0; 
 }
 Are there others differences.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sincerily,
A. MAZZILLI
