5 This readme describes one way to build gEDA/gaf (gschem and friends) on
6 the Windows operating system. It uses Cygwin as the layer between
7 Windows and the *nix world (ie gcc, make, bash etc...).
11 1) Download and run setup.exe from cygwin website:

\r
34 # ---- Cut here ---- #
35 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
\r
36 export PATH=$HOME/geda/bin:$PATH
\r
37 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
\r
38 # ---- Cut here ---- #
40 $ source .bash_profile
\r
42 3) Go to the gEDA sources page:
43 http://www.geda.seul.org/sources.html
44 From the gEDA/gaf group, download *only* the packages which have a date
45 as its version (like 20060123). The necessary dependencies where already
48 4) Go to the download directory and type:
52 5) Now, to properly view the documentation from the help menu of gschem:
54 Locate the executables of your browser and PDF reader and create links
55 from /usr/bin. Examples:
56 $ ln -s "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" /usr/bin/iexplore
57 $ ln -s "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /usr/bin/acroread
61 ( Microsoft Internet Explorer appears )
63 ( Adobe Acrobat Reader appears )
65 ( gEDA/gaf documentation appears )
67 6) Finally, before running gschem:
