Cygwin

Bibledit installation on Windows is similar to an installation in Linux, except that it needs Cygwin which emulates a Linux environment.

To install Cygwin, go to http://www.cygwin.com/ and click the "Install or update now!" link, which will give you a file called setup.exe. Install this file as you install any other software on Windows. While in the install wizard, choose the option "Install from Internet", as the downloaded setup.exe needs to download many packages that are going to form the Cygwin system. During setup leave the options as it recommends. When it comes to selecting a download site, select one near you. The next page enables you to select packages that are going to be installed. Leave the ones already selected, and also select the ones that Bibledit needs:

  • atk
  • atk-devel
  • autoconf (stable version)
  • automake1.9
  • binutils
  • fontconfig
  • gcc
  • glib2
  • glib2-devel
  • gnome-vfs2
  • gtk2-x11
  • gtk2-x11-devel
  • libfontconfig-devel
  • libXft-devel
  • make
  • pango-devel
  • pkgconfig
  • psmisc
  • readline
  • unzip
  • xorg-x11-fscl
  • xpdf
  • zip

Cygwin setup will now download a lot of files from the internet. This takes a good while. Finish the installation.

When through, it will create an icon on the Desktop and in the Start menu. Click the icon to start Cygwin. A terminal will open.
