xymongrep for windows

Hi,

Has anyone already attempted to compile xymongrep as a standalone windows program under MinGW or some such?  I am looking to add externals under BBWin and have these externals configured from etc\hosts.cfg to make them as much like native Unix extensions as I can.

Thanks

I'd guess that you could easily compile it with Cygwin. I have built 
the "xymon" tool in such an environment.

That is good to know as my longstop, but I was after something less intrusive, I presume a Cygwin installation will require a bunch of libraries to be installed and all i need is a standalone xymongrep.exe

It requires 2 DLL's. I don't know if MinGW supports the Unix socket 
API, but if it does then compiling it with MinGW should work fine.

May I suggest unxutils(.sourceforge.net) ? A combination of grep and awk 
does 
everything xymongrep does.

Not quite. Standard
grep / awk operates on local text files only, xymongrep retrieves the
hosts.cfg configuration directly from the Xymon server without using any
local files.

Looks like MinGW is not the way to go....

http://mingw-users.1079350.n2.nabble.com/sys-socket-h-td3255232.html

Other packages I'll be compiling need sys/socket.h, ...

Then you will not be compiling them with MinGW, unless you put in the
effort, and *port* them to use the WinSock API instead.  There is no
sys/socket.h among MinGW deliverables, nor will there be.
Does anyone have a Howto of any sort for building xymon under Cygwin then?

Thanks
