Cygwin Install Tutorial

1. Introduction
OPEN-R requires a Unix/Linux like environment.   To work with it on Windows, the Cygwin package can be used.  It's based on Linux, and allows Linux programs (for the most part) to work under Windows.   

You'll need at least 200 MBytes of free disk space available to download and install Cygwin.


2. Download Installer

Download the following Cygwin setup program:  http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe  (~250 KBytes).   Save it to your desktop, and launch once ready.


3. Cygwin Setup
After launching the setup program, you'll see this screen.  Click the Next button...

6. Local Directory

Pick somewhere temporary for downloading the files.  Don't use the installation directory.  ie: "C:\zzz" or "C:\Cygwin_Installer"

Click the Next button...

7. Select Connection Type

Click the Next button...

8. Choose Download Site

Pick one.  ie: "mirrors.kernel.org".

Click the Next button, and setup downloads the list of available packages (this is quick).

9. Select Packages
In addition to any packages selected by default, you need...
Devel "gcc-g++"
Devel "make"
Net "rsync"
Text "util-linux"

Other recommended packages...
Libs "libjpeg62"
Libs "libpng12-devel"
Libs "zlib"
Anything else you like!

You can rerun the setup program again later to add more packages as needed.   Click the Nextbutton...


10. Download and Install
On a 1.5MBit DSL connection, this will take 5 to 10 minutes.

The download is approximately 35-40 MBytes, depending on the packages selected.   After downloading everything, setup decompresses and installs the package files.

Good time for a snack...

11. Create Icons

For convenience, let the installer add icons to either the desktop or start menu (or both).

Click the Finish button, and you now have Cygwin installed!

Congratulations!

Next, Install the OPEN-R SDK on Cygwin...

Export Internet Explorer Security Zone Information

Internet Explorer assigns a security zone to any website that the user is visiting. Next to the two generic zones Internet (all that are not in another zone), Local Intranet (local sites) are Trusted sites and Restricted Sites. Trusted sites will usually have a lower security level than restricted sites. One could for instance move financial sites or sites from companies like eBay or Amazon into the Trusted sites list. Restricted sites are those that should be accessed with lower permissions. Good for websites that need to be accessed but are not that trusted. If a user accesses the Internet with multiple computers he might want to use the same security zone settings on all of them. The easiest way to do that would be to export the security zones on one computer and export them to all others instead of adding sites to the zones manually on all computers. Internet Explorer is storing the security zone information in the Windows Registry. To export the settings of the currently log
