Any differences from the original sources are given +in coreutils-5.3.0-GnuWin32.diffs in coreutils-5.3.0-src.zip. Libraries needed +for compilation can be found at the lines starting with 'LIBS = ' in the +Makefiles. Usually, these are standard libraries provided with Mingw, or +libraries from the package itself; 'gw32c' refers to the libgw32c package, +which provides MS-Windows substitutes or stubs for functions normally found in +Unix. For more information, see: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/compile.html +and http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libgw32c.htm. -- cgit v1.2.3
