Re: gEDA-user: Cygwin still supported?

The install instructions at http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:cygwin
include a lot of obsolete cygwin packages (atk-devel, gtk2-x11-devel,
... 6 others). These packages are no longer available in the current
Cygwin distribution. I assume their functions have been moved to other
packages, so this may need just a simple update of the install
instructions.
The alternatives I am considering are install under Mac OS X, or set up
a third machine with a suitable Linux distro. I've been using Cygwin
for all my Unix needs, so I would like to stick with that, if possible.
I also use CentOS (a clone of Redhat) on a remote server.
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I have not tested these suggestions, I use debian linux for gEDA.
gEDA will probably install fine with the
new cygwin. You already have Cygwin set up, so it would just be following
the build from source directions at gpleda.org
There is also a native windows build documented somewhere
and recently mentioned here, so others that know will say more about that
soon, I bet.
Next MacOS has a few happy users of gEDA. That could involve finding fink packages,
but no big repackaging required, if I've heard right.
