## Install to Cygwin 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-1.0.8.tar.gz
    % tar xvzf cutter-1.0.8.tar.gz
    % cd cutter-1.0.8
    % ./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.
