title: getopt.h: Compiling Linux C-Code in Windows
body: <p>I am trying to get a set of nine *.c files (and nine related *.h files) to compile under Windows.</p>
  
  <p>The code was originally designed in Linux to take command line arguments using the standard GNU-Linux/C library "getopt.h". And that library does not apply to building the C-code in Windows.</p>
  
  <p>I want to ignore what my code does right now and ask the following question. For those of you familiar with this C-library "getopt.h": will it be possible to build and run my code in Windows if it depends on POSIX-style command-line arguments?  Or will I have to re-write the code to work for Windows, passing input files differently (and ditching the "getopt.h" dependency)?</p>
