The following packages are included in the full release:
|
|
|
|
Development tools:
|
|
binutils, bison, byacc, dejagnu, diff, expect, flex, gas, gcc, gdb,
|
|
itcl, ld, libstdc++, make, patch, tcl, tix, tk
|
|
|
|
User tools:
|
|
ash, bash, bzip2, diff, fileutils, findutils, gawk, grep, gzip, m4,
|
|
sed, shellutils, tar, textutils, time
|
|
|
|
The user tools release only contains the user tools.
|
|
|
|
Full source code is available for these tools. It is split into
|
|
these two units.

@section Installing the binary release:
|
|
|
|
@strong{(Please note: This section has not yet been updated for the latest
|
|
net release.)}
|
|
|
|
Important! Be sure to remove any older versions of the Cygwin tools
|
|
from your PATH environment variable so you do not execute them by
|
|
mistake.
|
|
|
|
To download the cygwin files, you may use whatever ftp, browser, or
|
|
other transfer program you are familiar with. To download multiple
|
|
files without interaction, you may wish to try the @code{wget}
|
|
program. Visit the cygwin home page's software listings to find a
|
|
pre-built copy of it.
|
|
|
|
Connect to one of the ftp servers listed above and cd to the directory
|
|
containing the latest release. A list of mirror sites is at:
|
|
|
|
@file{http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/mirrors.html}.
|
|
|
|
If you want the development tools and the programs necessary to run
|
|
the GNU configure mechanism, you should download the full binary release
|
|
called @file{full.exe}. If you only care about the user tools
|
|
listed above, download @file{usertools.exe} instead.
|
|
|
|
If you have an unreliable connection, download the appropriate binary in
|
|
smaller chunks instead. For the split cdk installer, get the files in
|
|
the @file{full-split} subdirectory. Once downloaded, combine the
|
|
split files at the command prompt by doing a:
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
copy /b xaa + xab + xac + ... + xak + xal full.exe
|
|
del xa*.*
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
A similar process can be used for the user tools.
|
|
|
|
Once you have an install executable on your system, run it. If
|
|
a previous version of the software is detected, it will offer to
|
|
uninstall it for you.
|
|
|
|
Next it will ask you to choose an install location. The default is
|
|
@file{<system-drive>:\cygnus\cygwin-b20}. Feel free to choose another
|
|
location if you would prefer.
|
|
|
|
Finally, it will ask you for the name of the Program Files folder
|
|
shortcut to add. By default, the installer will create
|
|
a @file{Cygwin B20} entry in a
|
|
folder called @file{Cygnus Solutions}. When this step is completed, it
|
|
will install the tools and exit.
|
|
|
|
At this point, you should be able to look under the start menu and
|
|
select "Cygwin B20". This will pop up a bash shell with all special
|
|
environment variables set up for you. If you are running Windows 95 or
|
|
98 and are faced with the error message "Out of environment space", you
|
|
need to increase the amount of environment space in your config.sys and
|
|
try again. Adding the line @code{shell=C:\command.com /e:4096 /p}
|
|
should do the trick if @code{C:} is your system drive letter.
|
|
|
|
There are two remaining thing you should do from this prompt.
|
|
First, you need to type @code{mkdir -p /tmp} to ensure that a directory
|
|
for temporary files exists for programs that expect to find one there.
|
|
|
|
Second, if you are installing the full distribution
|
|
(@file{full.exe}), various programs will need to be able to find
|
|
@file{/bin/sh}. You should @file{mkdir -p /bin} and put a copy of
|
|
@file{sh.exe} there, removing the older version, if present. You can
|
|
use the @file{mount} utility to select which drive letter is mounted as
|
|
@file{/}. See the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) file for more
|
|
information on @file{mount}.
|
|
|
|
If you should ever want to uninstall the tools, you may do so
|
|
via the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel.
|
|
|
|
@section Installing the source code
|
|
|
|
@strong{(Please note: This section has not yet been updated for the latest
|
|
net release.)}
|
|
|
|
Before downloading the source code corresponding to the release,
|
|
you should install the latest release of the tools (either the full
|
|
release or just the user tools).
|
|
|
|
Create the directory that will house the source code. @file{cd}
|
|
there.
|
|
|
|
Connect to one of the ftp servers listed above and cd to the directory
|
|
containing the latest release. A list of mirror sites is at:
|
|
|
|
@file{http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/mirrors.html}.
|
|
|
|
If you want the user tools source code, @file{cd} into the
|
|
@file{user-src-split} subdirectory. Download the files there. If you
|
|
want the development tools sources, @file{cd} into the
|
|
@file{dev-src-split} subdirectory. Download the files there.
|
|
|
|
Back in the Windows command shell, for the user tools source:
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
copy /b xba + xbb + xbc + xbd + xbe + xbf + xbg user-src.tar.bz2
|
|
del xb*.*
|
|
bunzip2 user-src.tar.bz2
|
|
tar xvf user-src.tar
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
For the development tools source:
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
copy /b xca + xcb + xcc + xcd + ... + xck + xcl dev-src.tar.bz2
|
|
del xc*.*
|
|
bunzip2 dev-src.tar.bz2
|
|
tar xvf dev-src.tar
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
Both expand into a directory called @file{src}.
|
|
|
|
Note: if you want the sources corresponding to everything in the
|
|
full.exe binary installer, you will need to download and expand both
|
|
the user-src.tar.bz2 and dev-src.tar.bz2 source archives!
|
|
|
|
And you should be done...
|
|
|
|
@section Upgrading to B20.1
|
|
|
|
@strong{(Please note: This section has not yet been updated for the latest
|
|
net release. Even the section's title is wrong!)}
|
|
|
|
If you downloaded the original B20.0 release, you should definitely at
|
|
least upgrade the Cygwin library to the version present in B20.1. To do
|
|
this, download the file
|
|
@file{cygwin-b20/cygwin1-20.1.dll.bz2} from one of our mirror sites,
|
|
decompress it with bunzip2, and then install the dll, replacing
|
|
the file cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/cygwin1.dll in your original
|
|
installation of 20.0.
|
|
|
|
There are some additional patches in a few of the other tools
|
|
(including a gcc change that makes -mno-cygwin find the correct header
|
|
files). In addition, the tools have been built with a compiled-in path
|
|
of /cygnus/cygwin-b20/ which will make some tools such as bison find
|
|
their library files without help from environment variables.
|
|
To install the full 20.1 release, you will need to download the
|
|
correct installer from scratch. It will offer to uninstall the existing
|
|
release and replace it with 20.1 (You should choose to uninstall b20 and
|
|
proceed).
|
|
|
|
We have diff files on the ftp site that can be used to upgrade the
|
|
original B20.0 sources. 20.0-20.1-dev-src.diff.bz2 upgrades the
|
|
development tools sources. 20.0-20.1-user-src.diff.bz2 upgrades the
|
|
user tools sources. They come compressed so you'll need to bunzip2 them
|
|
before proceeding. As an example, if the development tools are in the
|
|
directory called "src" and the patch is in the directory above it, apply
|
|
the patch as follows:
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
cd src
|
|
patch -p1 -E < ../20.0-20.1-dev-src.diff
|
|
@end smallexample
|
