I want to allow the users I support to be able to run Cygwin tar on their Windows machines. These machines have not had any Cygwin installed; they're just bare Windows machines.
I provided them tar.exe and cygwin1.dll and assumed that with these, they could run Cygwin tar sucessfully. It appears that that isn't the case: machines without Cygwin installed see different behavior than machines which have it installed. (Running tar on machines without Cygwin installed creates incorrect tar archives.) What is the minimum I need to provide to a non-Cygwin Windows machine to get Cygwin tar to run reliably? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
