RE: porting Unix programs to windows

VC and Cygwin are absolutely not compatible. I suggest you to try MINGW
which may fulfill your requirement.

Subject: porting Unix programs to windows

Hello,
 
I tried to port Unix C programs to Windows VC using
cygwin. I hope the programs can be compiled and linked
correctly under VC. However,  it does not require that
the programs run correctly.
 
As the first step, I tried the compilation. I added
sys/cygwin.h to the beginning of the unix C program.
VC compiler reports errors:
.. \iquery\iquery.cpp(100) : error C2660: 'printf' :
function does not take 1 arguments
.. \iquery\iquery.cpp(111) : error C2660: 'printf' :
function does not take 1 arguments
.. \iquery\iquery.cpp(134) : error C2660: 'printf' :
function does not take 3 arguments
.. \iquery\iquery.cpp(136) : error C2660: 'memcpy' :
function does not take 3 arguments
 
I added a statement "printf();" to the program as a
test, the compiler does not complain about that
"printf" that do not have any paramters.
 
What can I do to fix those compilation errors?
 
Thanks.
 
Wei
