ISTR that people have gotten inetd running under cygwin.  If you can get
that going, plus tar (probably included in the distro), plus amandad, you
may have a shot.  I have no idea if amanda will compile in cygwin.

Of course, I may be recalling for NT/2K, and not 95/98, but who knows.

Compiling amanda on an (ugh) Windows box?

2001-08-29 Thread Gene Heskett


Does anyone know of a decent compiler for windows thats not a bank 
breaker?  I'd like to see if its buildable for the general run of W95 
and W98 machines. 

And has anyone made amanda work as client on a windows box other than 
via samba?  In other words, am I just spinning my wheels to even think 
about it?

Cheers, Gene
