Tools for using GNU under Windows

MinGW minimalist GNU for Windows

http://www.mingw.org/

If you want to use wget in Windows, you are using a separate installation package, and now you want to use Bash's command prompt to perform wget. Because a tool that exports wget download links, with single quotes included in the download link, under Windows can not be used, win to use double quotation marks. Too lazy to change, found MinGW this tool.

What's the difference between MinGW and Cygwin? I used to play Cygwin.

Website Explanation:

MinGW provides a complete Open Source programming tool Set which are suitable for the development of native ms-windows APPL Ications, and which do not depend on any 3rd-party c-runtime DLLs. (It does depend on a number of DLLs provided by Microso FT themselves, as components of the operating system; Most notable among these are MSVCRT. DLL, the Microsoft C Runtime Library. Additionally, threaded applications must ship with a freely distributable thread support DLLs, provided as part of MinGW it Self).

MinGW compilers provide access to the functionality of the Microsoft C runtime and some language-specific runtimes. MinGW, being minimalist, does not, and never would, attempt to provide a POSIX runtime environment for POSIX application de Ployment on Ms-windows. If you want POSIX application deployment on this platform, please consider Cygwin instead.

In addition POSIX is

POSIX (Portable Operating system Interface) is a set of standard Operating system interfaces based on the Unix Operating system.

Install the installation tools provided by MinGW first, so that you can selectively install utility.

The installer has two types of items that can be installed:

• MINGW provides a development compiler and the like
• MSYS (minimal system) is a command interface with some UNIX tools that can replace CMD in Windows to better use some open source applications, which is a branch of cygwin-1.3.

Puzzled is msys-wget this tool in the all category to find, began to find a half day on the Msys. After the check, in the menu installation-apply changes can be installed, very convenient.

Then find the installation directory Msys/bin/msys.bat, execute, you can get some command interface, the default is Sh.exe, this should be bash it.

Enter wget and you will be able to perform wget downloads. If you want to switch directories Cd/e/vedio you can switch to the e-disk vedio directory.
