To : mingw-users@lists.sourceforge.net To : cygwin@cygwin.com 7-Zip an application made by Igor Pavlov ( http://7-zip.org/ ) gives a very high compression ratio. Mainy users wish it should also be available in Linux. see http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=758481&forum_id=45797 But as Igor is not comfortable with gcc. So it is difficult for him to port. 7-Zip also use many non standard function from MS-VC++ So a better way to port it to Linux will be to first port it Cygwin or MinGW. I wish there is somebody to port this. As per Igor Standalone command line version in folder Project\archiver\bundle\Alone\ will be easy to port You can get source code at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ or get help from Igor at his emailid support@7-zip.org ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
