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...

4. Installation Type Select "Install from Internet". Click the Next button...

5. Installation Directory The defaults are recommended. Cygwin software packages will install to "C:\Cygwin". 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 Use "Direct Connection" (the default) unless you experience problems, or must use a proxy, etc... 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...
