  ===================================================================
  gEDA / gaf - Cygwin
  
  GPL'd Suite of Electronic Design Automation tools
  
  This readme describes one way to build gEDA/gaf (gschem and friends) on
  the Windows operating system. It uses Cygwin as the layer between
  Windows and the *nix world (ie gcc, make, bash etc...).
  
  Instructions: 
  
  1) Download and run setup.exe from cygwin website:
  http://www.cygwin.com
  In the setup program, select the following packages:
  (Hint: press the "view" button once to arrange the list in
  alphabetical order)
  
  atk-devel
  file
  gcc
  gtk2-x11-devel
  guile-devel
  make
  pango-devel
  patchutils
  pcre-devel
  pcre-doc
  pkg-config
  xorg-x11-devel
  xorg-x11-fscl
  xterm
  
  2) Append these lines to your .bash_profile:
  
  # ---- Cut here ---- #
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  export PATH=$HOME/geda/bin:$PATH
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  # ---- Cut here ---- #
  
  $ source .bash_profile
  
  3) Go to the gEDA sources page:
  http://www.geda.seul.org/sources.html
  From the gEDA/gaf group, download *only* the packages which have a date
  as its version (like 20060123). The necessary dependencies where already
  installed in step 1.
  
  4) Go to the download directory and type:
  $ make install
  ( ...patience... )
  
  5) Now, to properly view the documentation from the help menu of gschem:
  
  Locate the executables of your browser and PDF reader and create links
  from /usr/bin. Examples:
  $ ln -s "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" /usr/bin/iexplore
  $ ln -s "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /usr/bin/acroread
  
  Try:
  $ iexplore
  ( Microsoft Internet Explorer appears )
  $ acroread
  ( Adobe Acrobat Reader appears )
  $ gschemdoc -m
  ( gEDA/gaf documentation appears )
  
  6) Finally, before running gschem:
  $ startx
  
  Have fun!
