Alt: Fake It

• Make g++ think it runs on UNIX:
• Fake most UNIX syscalls
• Alter g++ a little
• Mingw: altered g++ and little glue.
• Cygwin: more glue, less alteration.

Notes:

Tried mingw in 2018. Found it easy enough to install, and workable for small examples. Haven’t run all the course’s examples.

Cygwin: no recent experience. (2001)
