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...

5. Installation Directory

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...

The First 10 People Who Sign up On Facebook 10. Zach Bercu sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net “The past eight years have been extraordinary,” Bercu said. A graduate of Emory’s medical school, Bercu spent a year in Israel, where he became fluent in Hebrew. He completed his residency in New York, part of the last intern class at St. Vincent’s, whose “hospital infrastructure crumbled around me,” he remembered of the facility, which closed in 2010. Now a resident at Mount Sinai in radiology, Bercu plans to complete a fellowship in interventional radiology, a form of “micro-surgery.” From his undergraduate years, “whether through Facebook or in person,” Bercu says he “took with me some of the greatest friendships one could have.” 9.

Sign in to multiple gmail accounts at once in same browser.... Tired of always signing out to switch between your accounts on your own computer? Whenever you need to switch accounts, just click the Add account button to sign in to your other account(s) and conveniently switch between them. Multiple sign-in does not merge account data, and it does not give one account access to another. Multiple sign-in is most convenient to use on devices that you don’t share with other people (where you won’t need to sign out to let others access their own accounts). Sign in to additional accounts Sign in to a supported Google product. Click your name or email address at the top of the page. Select Add account from the drop-down menu. On the page that opens, enter the email address and password for another account you wish to access, and click Sign in .
