<para>The following packages are included in the full release:</para>

<para>Development tools: binutils, bison, byacc, dejagnu, diff,

expect, flex, gas, gcc, gdb, itcl, ld, libstdc++, make, patch, tcl,

tix, tk</para>

grep, gzip, less, m4, sed, shellutils, tar, textutils, time</para>
|

<para>The user tools release only contains the user tools.</para>

<para>Full source code is available for these tools.</para>

<para>Important! Be sure to remove any older versions of the Cygwin
|
|
tools from your <EnVar>PATH</EnVar> environment variable so you do
|
|
not execute them by mistake.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Connect to one of the ftp servers listed in
|
|
<ulink URL="http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/mirrors.html">
|
|
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/mirrors.html</ulink> and
|
|
<command>cd</command> to the directory containing the latest release.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you want the development tools and the programs necessary to
|
|
run the GNU configure mechanism, you should download the full binary
|
|
release called <filename>full.exe</filename>. If you only care
|
|
about the user tools listed above, download
|
|
<filename>usertools.exe</filename> instead.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you have an unreliable connection, download the appropriate
|
|
binary in smaller chunks instead. For the split full installer, get
|
|
the files in the `full-split' subdirectory. Once downloaded,
|
|
combine the split files at the command prompt by doing a:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt><userinput>copy /b xaa + xab + xac + ... + xak + xal full.exe</userinput>
|
|
<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt><userinput>del xa*.*</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>A similar process can be used for the user tools.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Once you have installed the executable on your system, run
|
|
it. First off, the installer will prompt you for a location to extract
|
|
the temporary files it needs to install the release on your
|
|
system. The default should be fine for most people.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Next it will ask you to choose an install location. The default is
|
|
<filename><replaceable>system-drive</replaceable>:\cygnus\cygwin-b20</filename>.
|
|
Feel free to choose another location if you would prefer.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Finally, it will ask you for the name of the Program Files
|
|
folder shortcut to add. By default, the installer will create a
|
|
`Cygwin B20' entry in a folder called `Cygnus Solutions'. When this
|
|
step is completed, it will install the tools and exit.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you should ever want to uninstall the tools, you may do so
|
|
via the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para> At this point you should be able to look under the start menu and
|
|
select "Cygwin Beta 20" (or whatever you named it). This will pop up a bash
|
|
shell with 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. Adding the
|
|
line <command>shell=C:\command.com /e:4096 /p</command> to the file
|
|
<filename>C:\CONFIG.SYS</filename> and then rebooting should do the trick if
|
|
<filename>C:</filename> is your system drive letter.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you want to install the sources follow the
|
|
instructions in the next section, else go directly to
|
|
<Xref LinkEnd="setup-dir"> to complete your system setup.</para>

<sect1><title>Installing the source code</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>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).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Create the directory that will house the source code.
|
|
<command>cd</command> there.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Connect to one of the ftp servers listed above and
|
|
<command>cd</command> to the directory containing the latest release.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The source code is split into two units: user tools and development
|
|
tools. If you want the user tools source code, <command>cd</command> into
|
|
the <filename>user-src-split</filename> subdirectory. Download the files
|
|
there. If you want the development tools sources, <command>cd</command>
|
|
into the <filename>dev-src-split</filename> subdirectory. Download the
|
|
files there.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Back in the Windows command shell, for the user tools
|
|
source:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt> <userinput>copy /b xba + xbb + xbc + xbd + xbe + xbf + xbg user-src.tar.bz2</userinput>
|
|
<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt> <userinput>del xb*.*</userinput>
|

<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt> <userinput>bunzip2 user-src.tar.bz2</userinput>
|
|
<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt> <userinput>tar xvf user-src.tar</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>For the development tools source:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt> <userinput>copy /b xca + xcb + xcc + xcd + ... + xck + xcl dev-src.tar.bz2</userinput>

<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt> <userinput>del xc*.*</userinput>

<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt> <userinput>bunzip2 dev-src.tar.bz2</userinput>
|
|
<prompt>C:\Cygnus\></prompt> <userinput>tar xvf dev-src.tar</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Both will expand into a directory called
|
|
<filename>src</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note: if you want the sources corresponding to everything in the
|
|
full.exe binary installer, you will need to download and expand both
|
|
the <filename>user-src.tar.bz2</filename> and
|
|
<filename>dev-src.tar.bz2</filename> source archives!</para>
