Building OpenAxiom on Windows (Cygwin)
- This section is not finished but does indicate some of the necessary steps.
- Installing Cygwin
Cygwin will give you a basic set of UNIX routines, such as ls, grep, etc., that run on Windows. Included is a Bash shell run via Cygwin.bat or its shortcut, both found in the main directory. Most other executables are in the bin directory. Cygwin has been around a long time and is stable. Installing it should not cause problems. More complete information can be found on the Cygwin site, but this is a quick start guide.
- Go to http://www.cygwin.com/, download setup.exe, and run it.
- Select Install from the Internet
- Pick a directory for the files. C:\Cygwin is good.
- You will eventually get a list of packages. Use this to get new packages, update packages, or remove them.
- You will probably want to put C:\Cygwin\bin in your path.
- A useful tool to find what is needed for a build is cygcheck -p <regexp-search-string>. Run it with no arguments to get its usage.
- Packages Needed:
- gcc and Make in Devel
- clisp in Math
- libX-devel in X11
- libXt-devel in X11
- libXpm in X11
- libiconv in Libs or Devel
