GNU utilities for Win32

Windows is not shipped with a lot of tools for the developer. Simple tools like grep, sed, make are not provided. Today I installed UnxUtils. A set of GNU utilities for Win32. You could use Cygwin to do have the same utilities, but the nice thing about UnxUtils is that they are native win32 executables. In this context, native means the executables do only depend on the Microsoft C-runtime (msvcrt.dll) and not an emulation layer like that provided by Cygwin tools.

I was looking for make, wget and grep; which are included. The others included tools are:

  • bc-1.05
  • bison-1.28
  • bzip2-1.0.2
  • diffutils-2.7
  • fileutils-3.16
  • findutils-4.1
  • flex-2.5.4
  • gawk-3.1.0
  • grep-2.4.2
  • gsar110
  • gzip-1.2.4
  • indent-2.2.9
  • jwhois-2.4.1
  • less-340
  • m4-1.4
  • make-3.78.1
  • patch-2.5
  • recode-3.6
  • rman-3.0.7
  • sed-3.02
  • shellutils-1.9.4
  • tar-1.12
  • textutils-2.1
  • unrar-3.00
  • wget-1.8.2
  • which-2.4

Finally a wget for windows!
