GNU utilities For Windows with Unix Utils

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to Windows Reference RSS feed Thanks for visiting!


If you want to use some Linux/Unix Commands in Windows like grep,egrep,find,dc,dd,cp and many more then you are looking for this small utility called Unix Utils

Here are some ports of common GNU utilities to native Win32. 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.

Hello,

does the GNU utilities work with the 64-bit version of Windows server 2003?

Thanks,
Karl

I have those utilities that worked fine with 2k, xp.
(I usually put all the *.exe in c:\bin, then I edit
the PATH variable by putting ‘c:\bin;’ at the beginning)

But with vista, after I type in any command in my shell
console (even a simple ls) it crashes.

On the shortcut I use for zsh.exe (I have c:\bin\zsh.exe -i
in the command line) I checked the compatibility with xp
but it didn’t solve anything.

Anybody knows how to fix this?

can this program support multibyte characters, say, Chinese characters? I tried on my desktop, it give me “????”…
