-@chapter Installation Instructions
-@section Contents
-
-The following packages are included in the full release:
-
-Development tools:
-binutils, bison, byacc, dejagnu, diff, expect, flex, gas, gcc, gdb,
-itcl, ld, libstdc++, make, patch, tcl, tix, tk
-
-User tools:
-ash, bash, bzip2, diff, fileutils, findutils, gawk, grep, gzip, m4,
-sed, shellutils, tar, textutils, time
-
-The user tools release only contains the user tools.
-
-Full source code is available for these tools. It is split into
-these two units.
-
-@section Installing the binary release:
-
-Important! Be sure to remove any older versions of the Cygwin tools
-from your PATH environment variable so you do not execute them by
-mistake.
-
-To download the cygwin files, you may use whatever ftp, browser, or
-other transfer program you are familiar with. To download multiple
-files without interaction, you may wish to try the @code{wget}
-program. Visit the cygwin home page's software listings to find a
-pre-built copy of it.
-
-Connect to one of the ftp servers listed above and cd to the directory
-containing the latest release. A list of mirror sites is at:
-
-@file{http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/mirrors.html}.
-
-If you want the development tools and the programs necessary to run
-the GNU configure mechanism, you should download the full binary release
-called @file{full.exe}. If you only care about the user tools
-listed above, download @file{usertools.exe} instead.
-
-If you have an unreliable connection, download the appropriate binary in
-smaller chunks instead. For the split cdk installer, get the files in
-the @file{full-split} subdirectory. Once downloaded, combine the
-split files at the command prompt by doing a:
-
-@smallexample
-copy /b xaa + xab + xac + ... + xak + xal full.exe
-del xa*.*
-@end smallexample
-
-A similar process can be used for the user tools.
-
-Once you have an install executable on your system, run it. If
-a previous version of the software is detected, it will offer to
-uninstall it for you.
-
-Next it will ask you to choose an install location. The default is
-@file{<system-drive>:\cygnus\cygwin-b20}. Feel free to choose another
-location if you would prefer.
-
-Finally, it will ask you for the name of the Program Files folder
-shortcut to add. By default, the installer will create
-a @file{Cygwin B20} entry in a
-folder called @file{Cygnus Solutions}. When this step is completed, it
-will install the tools and exit.
-
-At this point, you should be able to look under the start menu and
-select "Cygwin B20". This will pop up a bash shell with all special
-environment variables set up for you. If you are running Windows 95 or
-98 and are faced with the error message "Out of environment space", you
-need to increase the amount of environment space in your config.sys and
-try again. Adding the line @code{shell=C:\command.com /e:4096 /p}
-should do the trick if @code{C:} is your system drive letter.
-
-There are two remaining thing you should do from this prompt.
-First, you need to type @code{mkdir -p /tmp} to ensure that a directory
-for temporary files exists for programs that expect to find one there.
-
-Second, if you are installing the full distribution
-(@file{full.exe}), various programs will need to be able to find
-@file{/bin/sh}. You should @file{mkdir -p /bin} and put a copy of
-@file{sh.exe} there, removing the older version, if present. You can
-use the @file{mount} utility to select which drive letter is mounted as
-@file{/}. See the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) file for more
-information on @file{mount}.
-
-If you should ever want to uninstall the tools, you may do so
-via the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel.
-
-@section Installing the source code
-
-Before downloading the source code corresponding to the release,
-you should install the latest release of the tools (either the full
-release or just the user tools).
-
-Create the directory that will house the source code. @file{cd}
-there.
-
-Connect to one of the ftp servers listed above and cd to the directory
-containing the latest release. A list of mirror sites is at:
-
-@file{http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/mirrors.html}.
-
-If you want the user tools source code, @file{cd} into the
-@file{user-src-split} subdirectory. Download the files there. If you
-want the development tools sources, @file{cd} into the
-@file{dev-src-split} subdirectory. Download the files there.
-
-Back in the Windows command shell, for the user tools source:
-
-@smallexample
-copy /b xba + xbb + xbc + xbd + xbe + xbf + xbg user-src.tar.bz2
-del xb*.*
-bunzip2 user-src.tar.bz2
-tar xvf user-src.tar
-@end smallexample
-
-For the development tools source:
-
-@smallexample
-copy /b xca + xcb + xcc + xcd + ... + xck + xcl dev-src.tar.bz2
-del xc*.*
-bunzip2 dev-src.tar.bz2
-tar xvf dev-src.tar
-@end smallexample
-
-Both expand into a directory called @file{src}.
-
-Note: if you want the sources corresponding to everything in the
-full.exe binary installer, you will need to download and expand both
-the user-src.tar.bz2 and dev-src.tar.bz2 source archives!
-
-And you should be done...
-
-@section Upgrading to B20.1
-
-If you downloaded the original B20.0 release, you should definitely at
-least upgrade the Cygwin library to the version present in B20.1. To do
-this, download the file
-@file{cygwin-b20/cygwin1-20.1.dll.bz2} from one of our mirror sites,
-decompress it with bunzip2, and then install the dll, replacing
-the file cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/cygwin1.dll in your original
-installation of 20.0.
-
-There are some additional patches in a few of the other tools
-(including a gcc change that makes -mno-cygwin find the correct header
-files). In addition, the tools have been built with a compiled-in path
-of /cygnus/cygwin-b20/ which will make some tools such as bison find
-their library files without help from environment variables.
-To install the full 20.1 release, you will need to download the
-correct installer from scratch. It will offer to uninstall the existing
-release and replace it with 20.1 (You should choose to uninstall b20 and
-proceed).
-
-We have diff files on the ftp site that can be used to upgrade the
-original B20.0 sources. 20.0-20.1-dev-src.diff.bz2 upgrades the
-development tools sources. 20.0-20.1-user-src.diff.bz2 upgrades the
-user tools sources. They come compressed so you'll need to bunzip2 them
-before proceeding. As an example, if the development tools are in the
-directory called "src" and the patch is in the directory above it, apply
-the patch as follows:
-
-@smallexample
-cd src
-patch -p1 -E < ../20.0-20.1-dev-src.diff
-@end smallexample
