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.


On Mac OS X use macports <http://www.macports.org/> to install geda, couldn't be easier. Unfortunately macports has a really really outdated pcb package, so I build pcb from source. I sent a reminder email to the user email list. Lets see if that gets a response for an update!


Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
