Cygwin Binaries

This page contains links to some pre-compiled binaries for Cygwin. All of these packages were built using Cygwin DLL version 1.5.24. Before installing any of these binaries, you may want to upgrade your Cygwin installation if necessary. These packages were built using an install-prefix of /usr/local/.

Installation Instructions

To install a package, say foo-x.y.z.cygwin.tar.bz2, download it to somewhere in your Cygwin file system, e.g., /tmp, and then unpack it from the Cygwin root directory (/). This is easily carried out using wget, which may already be installed on your system:

As pointed out above, the files in the package will be placed under /usr/local. In order to make use of any of the executables in the package, make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH.

All the binaries on this page require the installation of at least version 2.1.2 of the S-Lang library. The most recent version is slang-2.1.3.cygwin.tar.bz2. If you have not already done so, install it first.
