There seems to be gcc and lots of GNU stuff, too (yes, it's > from MS...). I did this a few monthes ago, I followed the NetBSD way, since SFU is supported by NetBSD's `pkgsrc'. This was really *easy*, thanks to the efforts of the `pkgsrc' maintainers. However, I did not play that much with the system, my point was to test SFU by running very Unix-oriented and complex proecdures in it. See http://www.netbsd.org/docs/software/packages.html for general information about NetBSD's pkgsrc; Microsoft SFU is refered to as Interix here, e.g. in the ``Supported Platforms'' section. The `pkgsrc' software is a port infrastructure similar to what is found on *BSD and MacPorts, if you have used one of them, you certainly will feel comfortable with `pkgsrc'. Documentation for `pkgsrc' is available at http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/, besides the introduction, see especially sections 3.2 (Bootstrapping) and 4.2 (Installing ports), it shall be enough to get started! -- Cheers, Michaël
