The executables produced are console applications that can be executed in either a cygwin, MSYS or "cmd" shell. See the INSTALL file for more details. +Binary and Text files +===================== +A problem has been reported with binary output being written in a MinGW +environment (or executables build by MinGW). Windows has a concept of text +and binary files which is not found in Unix. Recent versions of MinGW +default to opening files in text mode. This can lead to binary output +(such as when the '--raw' option is given) having 0xa (i.e. LF) translated +to 0xd,0xa (i.e. CR,LF). sg3_utils version 1.26 attempts to fix this +problem by changing what it knows to be binary output files to "binary +mode" with the setmode() Windows command. + Doug Gilbert -2nd December 2007 +14th May 2008 |
