Re: Why doesn't "find .|grep aword" work?

Oops, my bad. I forgot about xargs. No wonder I couldn't get it to work. Glad I asked anyway. I learned a some useful stuff, especially "grep -r". thanks! km4hr wrote: > > Do pipes work in cygwin in the usual way? > > Why doesn't the following command

Why doesn't "find .|grep aword" work?

Do pipes work in cygwin in the usual way? Why doesn't the following command works on HP Unix? Why not cygwin? find .|grep "hello" I get no output from this command even though I'm sure the word "hello" is in some files. What I want this command to do is find all files in all sub-directories an

Dave, You're right. I'm not listening. At least not entirely. The only thing I really needed to hear was that this is an "incredibly tricky and unreliable thing ... to do". Thanks for being up front about that! Dave Korn wrote: > > On 29 June 2007 15:26, km4hr wro

Re: How to link with third party libraries using gcc

ll just learn the Windows programming tools. They're easy to use, or so I'm told. I am glad cygwin enables me to run "vi" on Windows. That alone is very useful. The Unix utilities are nice too! Thanks for your suggestions. Larry Hall (Cygwin) wrote: > > km4hr wrote: >&

Re: How to link with third party libraries using gcc

"toolchains", and "calling conventions", or how to find out what that means, I wonder if there's another explanation. I've got a sinking feeling about this. As if I'm going where no man has gone before. Thanks for trying, Brian. I can tell you know what you're t

How to link with third party libraries using gcc

I do a fair amount of C programming on Unix but almost none on Windows. I know almost nothing about Windows libraries. I'd be happy if I never had to deal with them at all. But I have a need. I thought Windows shared libraries were indentified by a ".dll" extension. However I have a commercial p
