We're definitely getting off-topic for Gentoo now so if you have any |
7 |
more Cygwin-related questions you can feel free to email me off-list |

:) Cygwin is pretty simple. Just download setup.exe and run it, point |
9 |
it to a place where you want it to download and install, select the |
10 |
packages you want (such as normal tools like wget, and dev tools like |
11 |
gcc and anything else normally needed to compile programs -- it'll |
12 |
automatically select dependencies when you choose the main program), |
13 |
then click the icon to get a bash prompt and pretend you're in *nix. |
14 |
You now have the advantage of the familiar shell and familiar tools |
15 |
when you're in Windows. It is basically self-contained and I don't |
16 |
think it does anything to your computer other than when you explicitly |
17 |
run it. In the future run setup.exe and just keep clicking "next" and |
18 |
it'll download and install any updates for your installed packages. |

I've compiled big packages in Cygwin such as MySQL, wxWindows and Qt4 |
20 |
and they worked fine. |

For fun I will try to insall cdrtools in cygwin now: |
23 |
|
24 |
"make" fails, so the readme suggests using smake instead, so I try |
25 |
that. First download, compile and install smake: |
26 |
|
27 |
1. wget ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/smake/alpha/smake-1.2a41.tar.gz |
28 |
2. tar zxvf smake-1.2a41.tar.gz |
29 |
3. cd smake-1.2 |
30 |
4. make |
31 |
5. make install |
32 |
|
33 |
That works. By default on my system it installs everything to /opt/schily/ |
34 |
|
35 |
Then, same for cdrtools |
36 |
1. wget ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ALPHA/cdrecord-beta.tar.gz |
37 |
2. tar zxvf cdrtools-beta.tar.gz |
38 |
3. cd cdrtools-2.01.01 |
39 |
4. /opt/schily/bin/smake.exe |
40 |
5. /opt/schily/bin/smake.exe install |
41 |
|
42 |
done... now cdrtools programs are in /opt/schily/bin/ (with .exe |
43 |
extension) and appear to work for me. |
