  • MinGW: Minimalist GNU For Windows
    MinGW é uma coleção de cabeçalhos e bibliotecas de importação que possibilitam usar GCC e produzir programas Windows 32-bits nativos que não dependem de nenhuma DLL de terceiros. No nível básico, MinGW permite aos programas modo-console (prompt texto) usar a biblioteca C runtime (CRT) Microsoft padrão MSVCRT.DLL. Já o pacote win32api permite o uso da Win32 API.

    Mingw32 foi criado por Colin Peters, e seu primeiro compilador nativo por Jan-Jaap van der Heijden; depois passou a ser mantido e desenvolvido por Mumit Khan. Em 2000, Mingw32 se tornou um projeto de desenvolvimento OpenSource mantido na SourceForge - MinGW Project.
  • Cygwin
    Created by Cygnus Solutions. Maintained at RedHat Sources.
    As ferramentas Cygwin são adaptação open-source das populares ferramentas e utilitários GNU de desenvolvimento portadas para Windows 95, 98, e NT. Elas funcionam utilizando a biblioteca Cygwin que provê uma API similar à do UNIX em cima da Win32 API. Cygwin provê portanto uma "emulação" da API POSIX sob ambiente Win32, adequada para quem quer portar rapidamente código C do UNIX no padrão POSIX para Windows 32-bit.

Software Build & Make

Makefile Automation

  • The Universal Makefile
    "The only Makefile you will ever need". By Geotechnical Software Services. A cross-platform (MS-Windows, Linux, UNIX) makefile for a wide range of programming languages and tools (Java, C, C++, Fortran, Rmi, Javadoc, Makedepend etc.). Suitable for single file projects and scalable to multi-million file projects. The Makefile is written once and for all; no further editing required. The file is well-organized and suitable as an example for learning GnuMake.
  • Learning Autoconf and Automake
    A tutorial for helping programmers getting started with GNU autoconf and automake.
  • GNU Automake
    Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefiles compliant with the GNU Coding Standards.
  • GNU Autoconf
    Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4 macro calls.
    Producing configuration scripts using Autoconf requires GNU m4. Some optional utilities that come with Autoconf use Perl.
  • GNU Libtool - The GNU Portable Library Tool
    GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface.
  • GNU m4
    GNU m4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. GNU m4 is maintained by René Seindal.
