If you are new to the world of UNIX, you may find it difficult to
|
|
understand at first. This guide is not meant to be comprehensive,
|
|
so we recommend that you use the many available Internet resources
|
|
to become acquainted with UNIX basics (search for "UNIX basics" or
|
|
"UNIX tutorial").

|
To install a basic Cygwin environment, run the
|
|
<span class="command"><strong>setup.exe</strong></span> program and click <code class="literal">Next</code>
|
|
at each page. The default settings are correct for most users. If you
|
|
want to know more about what each option means, see
|
|
<a class="xref" href="setup-net.html#internet-setup" title="Internet Setup">the section called “Internet Setup”</a>. Use <span class="command"><strong>setup.exe</strong></span>
|
|
any time you want to update or install a Cygwin package. If you are
|
|
installing Cygwin for a specific purpose, use it to install the tools
|
|
that you need. For example, if you want to compile C++ programs, you
|
|
need the <code class="systemitem">gcc-g++</code> package and probably a text
|
|
editor like <code class="systemitem">nano</code>. When running
|
|
<span class="command"><strong>setup.exe</strong></span>, clicking on categories and packages in the
|
|
package installation screen will provide you with the ability to control
|
|
what is installed or updated.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
After installation, you can find Cygwin-specific documentation in
|
|
the <code class="literal">/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/</code> directory.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
Developers coming from a Windows background will be able to write
|
|
console or GUI executables that rely on the Microsoft Win32 API instead
|
|
of Cygwin using the mingw32 or mingw64 cross-compiler toolchains. The
|
|
<span class="command"><strong>-shared</strong></span> option to GCC allows to write Windows Dynamically
|
|
Linked Libraries (DLLs). The resource compiler <span class="command"><strong>windres</strong></span>
|
|
is also provided.
