GNU Dependencies for Windows

v1.0 (2020/02/21)

This folder contains the Windows version of some GNU tools required to build the PureBasic IDE, taken from the GnuWin project on SourceForge.

Many thanks to @ChrisRfr for having selected the required dependencies, tested them and grouped them together.
README file created by Tristano Ajmone.

NOTE — You can use these utilities under both the Windows CMD and Bash for Windows.

Simply add their folder to the PATH environment variable, to make them accessible to the build scripts and Make files.

Make for Windows

The following files were taken from the Make for Windows v3.81 package (make-3.81-bin.zip and make-3.81-dep.zip), released under the terms of the GPLv2 license:

Make_COPYING — GPLv2 license text.
make.exe
libiconv2.dll
libintl3.dll

CoreUtils for Windows

The following files were taken from the CoreUtils for Windows v5.3.0 package (coreutils-5.3.0-bin.zip), released under the terms of the GPLv2 license:

coreutils_COPYING — GPLv2 license text.
cp.exe
pwd.exe
rm.exe
touch.exe

WARNING — If you’re planning to use this package under Bash for Windows, be aware that all four of the above tools from CoreUtils are already available as native commands in the Bash that ships with Git for Windows. You should therefore leave them out and use the native Bash commands instead of overriding them.

Zip for Windows

The following files were taken from the Zip for Windows v3.0 package (zip-3.0-bin.zip and zip-3.0-dep.zip), released under the terms of the Info-ZIP license:

zip_LICENSE — Info-ZIP license text.
zip.exe
bzip2.dll
