  20 This guide describes one way to build gEDA/gaf (gschem and friends) on
  21 the Windows operating system. It uses Cygwin as the layer between
  22 Windows and the *nix world (ie gcc, make, bash etc…).

  64
  65 <strong>2. Append these lines to your .bash_profile:</strong>
  66
  67 </p>
  68 <pre class="code">export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  69 export PATH=$HOME/geda/bin:$PATH
  70 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</pre>
  71

  74 Update your environment:
  75 </p>
  76 <pre class="code">$ source .bash_profile</pre>
  77
  78 <p>

  80 <strong>3. Go to the <a href="http://www.geda.seul.org/sources.html" class="urlextern" title="http://www.geda.seul.org/sources.html"  rel="nofollow">gEDA sources download page</a>.</strong>
  81 </p>
  82
  83 <p>
  84 From the gEDA/gaf group, download <strong>only</strong> the packages which have a date
  85 as its version. The necessary dependencies were already
  86 installed in step 1. However, if you haven&#039;t installed or built the libstroke package, be sure to add
  87
  88 </p>
  89 <pre class="code">--disable-stroke</pre>
  90
  91 <p>
  92
  93 to the opts= line. Add the following options to the opts= line in the Makefile
  94
  95 </p>
  96 <pre class="code">--disable-update-mime-database --disable-update-desktop-database --disable-nls</pre>
  97
  98 <p>
  99 <strong>4. Go to the download directory and type:</strong>
 100 </p>
 101 <pre class="code">$ make open
 102 $ make install
 103 ( ...patience... )</pre>
 104
 105 <p>

 107 <strong>5. Now, to properly view the documentation from the help menu of gschem:</strong>
 108 </p>
 109
 110 <p>
 111 Locate the executables of your browser and <acronym title="Portable Document Format">PDF</acronym> reader and create links
 112 from /usr/bin. Examples:
 113 </p>
 114 <pre class="code">$ ln -s &quot;c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe&quot; /usr/bin/iexplore
 115 $ ln -s &quot;c:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe&quot; /usr/bin/firefox
 116 $ ln -s &quot;c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe&quot; /usr/bin/acroread</pre>
 117
 118 <p>
 119
 120 Try:
 121 </p>
 122 <pre class="code">$ iexplore
 123 ( Microsoft Internet Explorer appears )
 124 $ firefox
 125 ( Firefox appears - if installed )
 126 $ acroread
 127 ( Adobe Acrobat Reader appears )
 128 $ gschemdoc -m
 129 ( gEDA documentation appears )</pre>
 130
 131 <p>
 132
 133 <strong>6. Finally, start the X server:</strong>
 134 </p>
 135 <pre class="code">$ startx</pre>
