Re: CYGWIN To Solaris question

["Rafal Furdzik - GM Corner" <Raffy at grandmastercorner dot com>]

VDE is Virtual Domain Environment and it is used by my web provider. I can
not change it to Solaris 2.7 or 2.8 (But yes, I can always change provider
:))). I'm trying to compile c program, I can use as a cgi for my web.

    I'm sorry for this trivial question. When you said I need to get runtime
for Solaris, what files and from which directory exactly on the Solaris
machine I need to copy to my Cygwin machine and where should I place them ?

    Is there any place on the net I can get those runtimes for Solaris ?
Like you said it is a pretty old system and I could not find it on the Sun
website.

Thanks again for your help.
