Posix support in mingw..

[roy basavaraju]

Hi,

Thanks for your valuable suggestions..

    i am working an application, which needs to read user_id(uid),
group_id(gid). for this i need posix headers grp.h & pwd.h.
So my issue is if i replace these header files with any of the gnu libraries
which supports in mingw, will my application able to read these file
atributes correctly when it si running on a linux target..

if i summerise, i have to dvelop an filesystem related  application in
mingw, with this executable i have to generate filesystem image in windows..
this filesystem image i will flash in a linux based target.. it should work
perfectly as the filesystem generated in linux environment..

Thanks for u r help..
