As the title says - anyone know of a method to add tar/gzip to the command line in Windows? I've installed Cygwin - but don't know if I have to add something to the PATH env variable to get tar as a cmd option
A:
Install UnxUtils - it's a set of GNU utilities ported to Windows, sort of like Cygwin but they also work outside the Cygwin environment.

I saw that, it was my next port of call - in the end I realised I just had to add the Cygwin bin directory to the PATH variable. Problem solved - thanks for the rapid response tho!

the problem is getting zip to run from Phing - it doesn't seem to pick it up, despite the bin being available to the cmd

Another option is GnuWin32: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

Does Phing pick this up?

Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with Phing.

The method I've used to solve this is to install Cygwin then place the path to the bin directory in the PATH variable.
