Cygwin setup

Setting up Cygwin

Setting up Cygwin is fairly straight forward. Download and run the installer from the Cygwin homepage. Following the default setup will probably be OK. Choose a suitable mirrow (e.g. ftp://mirror.ac.uk/) and make sure that the following (binary) packages are installed under the "devel" tree:

• autoconf
• automake
• binutils,
• bison
• flex
• gcc
• gcc-core
• gcc-g++
• gperf
• make
• svn

If any of these are missing or you need to make changes, you can re-run the Cygwin setup program at any time. Once this is done, running Cygwin from the Start menu or Desktop icon will present the "bash" console.
