Install to Cygwin — How to install Cutter to Cygwin

Introduction

This document explains how to install Cutter to Cygwin.

We use Cygwin 1.5. We can install Cutter to Cygwin 1.7 but we need to apply a patch to GLib.

Install Cygwin

First, we download Cygwin 1.5 installer:

<URL:http://cygwin.com/setup.exe>

Next, we install the following packages with the downloaded installer:

  • gcc

  • gdb

  • gettext-devel

  • intltool

  • libiconv

  • libtool

  • make

  • pkg-config

  • wget

We enter into Cygwin. We run Cygwin.

The latest GLib can't be built on Cygwin 1.5. We use old GLib that is supported by Cutter.

We install GLib into /usr/local/.

% wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.16/glib-2.16.6.tar.gz
% tar xvzf glib-2.16.6.tar.gz
% cd glib-2.16.6
% ./configure
% make
% make install

Install Cutter

We install Cutter.

% cd
% wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cutter/cutter-1.1.0.tar.gz
% tar xvzf cutter-1.1.0.tar.gz
% cd cutter-1.1.0
% ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
% make
% make install

The next step

Installation is completed. We should try tutorial with the installed Cutter.
