1 This is what [Norman Vine <nhv@cape.com>] recommends for general
4 Note: This will be a Unix like system and not a Windows IDE
5 It is expected that the user is comfortable using the gnu gcc
6 compiler and its asociated toolkit.
8 1) Latest Cygwin release
9 earlier ones work but the latest is better by far and
10 upgrading is now just a one click operation :-)
13 For version V1.1.4 ( current version as of 9/22/2000 )
14 after installation upgrade per these instructions
15 http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-08/msg00256.html
16 ( this will not be necessary for those using Cygwin snapshots
17 later then 08 / 15 / 2000 )
19 2) a Cygwin compiled Perl
20 I reccomend the binary release from Charles Wilson
21 http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/perl-5.6.0/index.html
23 3) automake and autoconf but you might as well pick up
24 the complete usr-local toolkit
25 http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/usr-local/index.html
27 4) I HEARTILY reccomend installing this Win32 ( Non - X ) rxvt package
28 http://www.io.com/~bub/rxvt.html
29 to replace the command console
32 5) There is a small problem in the stock OpenGl Distribution
33 I suggest you just grab mine from
34 http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/cygwin_opengl.ZIP
35 There is some documentation in the included shell script
39 After installing the new Cygwin and support files
40 You should just be able to do from a Cygwin bash shell
42 cd to appropriate top SRC_DIR
51 for what it is worth here are the compiler flags I have been using
52 do this from bash shell prior to running configure
55 CFLAGS='-pipe -Wall -O2 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -fexpensive-optimizations
58 CXXFLAGS='-pipe -Wall -O2 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -fexpensive-optimizatio
