Cygwin 64 Zip Download

Old question, but for others that google and got here: Official setup has command line arguments which allowed me to prepare simple *.bat script - just put following line in e.g. "install-pkg.bat" and put that file into your root directory (e.g. C:\cygwin):
There is a chicken egg problem with the accepted answer. If you didn't get wget or lynx during the initial install, you cannot use apt-cyg. Here is how I installed wget so that I could use apt-cyg. (It uses the CLI features of the cygwin setup exe.)
Other answers are missing the dependencies you need before you can run the lynx installer within Cygwin. Run this from a privileged powershell or equivalent (your setup executable should be somewhere like Downloads\ or C:\tools\cygwin):
For at least packages that do not require post-install configuration, I have simply untarred them from the cygwin root '/'. I required an older version of subversion (1.7.14) which had passed beyond the two versions handled by setup.
An additional advantage is the package becomes outside the cygwin package management world and thus in a kind of adhoc blacklist is not automatically updated with the newest package if defaults are kept.

I am running Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 3. I installed Cygwin and also added some useful packages (gvim, nedit, emacs, vim, g++). However, when I run gvim, I get "Can't open display". The same thing happens with nedit. When I did echo $DISPLAY, I showed nothing so I set the DISPLAY to :0.0. I still get "can't open display." I tried removing cygwin and re-installing but I get the same problem.
So if you put cygwin1.dll in c:\ocaml-stuff, then /tmp corresponds to c:\ocaml-stuff\..\tmp, i.e., c:\tmp. An easy way to understand this is: in Cygwin, cygwin1.dll expects to live in /bin, so /tmp corresponds to a sibling subdirectory. So one option is to create this tmp directory: your OCaml executable will happily use that.
I am running cygwin on Windows7 to execute my unix shell commands and I need to automate the process by writing a Java app. I already know how to use the windows shell through Java using the 'Process class' and Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c dir"). I need to be able to do the same with unix commands: i.e.: ls -la and so forth. What should I look into?
You do not need cygwin here. There are several pure Java libraries implementing SSH protocol. Use them. BTW they will solve your second problem. You will open session and execute command withing the same session, so the shell state will be preserved automatically.
For those who want to start syncthing as a service under windows (7) using the cygwin environment here is a bash script that expects the syncthing exe under for personal directory/binStart it using the cygwin bash shell and it stays silently in the background and logs in files.
Cygwin is essentially a utility that offers a Linux-like environment on a Microsoft Windows host. Technically, it is a DLL (cygwin1.dll) that acts as a Linux API layer providing substantial Linux API functionality. Once you install Cygwin, you can configure the SSH Daemon on the host. The Add Host Targets Wizard is certified and supported with Cygwin 2.4.1 or higher.
MinGW-w64 (short for "Minimalist GNU for Windows") (@ -w64.org/), is a minimalist (i.e., small but fewer features compared with cygwin) development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications, in particular:
If you are about to install Cygwin, we strongly advise you to install Cygwin in a directory that has no spaces in it (not in "C:\Program Files" for example, but rather in C:\cygwin). In addition, by default, Cygwin will set your home directory to C:\Documents And Settings\Your User Name\My Documents or something like that. We strongly advise you to change that too, to C:\cygwin\home\yourusername for example. Having spaces in these directories in general will make your Cygwin experience less pleasant (not just for FIRE); Unix does not like spaces in file and directory names.
By default, Cygwin will install to C:\cygwin64, but you can change this to any directory you choose. I advise not to select a directory path containing spaces in the name so avoid C:\Program Files\cygwin64.
I've hit a brick wall with this. I'm running cygwin on a Windows 7 machine. I can't connect vai ange-ftp to an ftp server, hosted by godaddy.com. I do C-x C-f /[email protected]: (to get a dir listing) or :index.html (file exists), and in both cases emacs asks me for my password, I enter it, and then emacs freezes. Hard freezes - only way to kill it is to use Task Manager, and kill two emacs-w32 processes.
My .emacs includes (require 'cygwin-mount). I also tried (require 'setup-cygwin) (downloaded most recent version today), but that doesn't load properly. Error about "cannot find cygwin", having to do with a variable that sets the path to cygwin. I couldn't figure it out so commented out (require 'setup-cygwin).
So - suggestions? Could this relate to what ftp client emacs / ange-ftp is finding? Other things about my emacs setup for cygwin? I've been using cygwin emacs for about 6 months and most other things work, including running processes from within emacs (shell, tex, grep, diff, etc).
Hi, this is a "dumb theorist" problem, but I can't fix it by myself...
I put it under "questions" and not "bugs" because it is probably a compatibility issue with cygwin but I still would like to solve it.
If it is too complicated for a string theorist, just say so and I'll try installing a virtualbox :)
I need to run MG5 on cygwin and I get as far as generating a test run using the tutorial but when I try
"output MY_FIRTS_MG5_RUN" here is what I get:
It seems that problematic point is at the calling of the bash script clean_template. Is it possible that bash scripts don't work well with cygwin? What happens if you try to call a bash script directly? You can try with a simple test script:

In that case it seems to be an internal Python problem on cygwin. Since we are all running on Mac or Linux machines, we can't easily test your setup. Have you tried calling your test.sh script from Python using subprocess?

Cygwin consists of Unix system emulation library, cygwin1.dll, together with GNU and other free software applications organized into a large number of optional packages. Cygwin is a POSIX compliant that means it shares a standard APT with other compliant operating systems.
Kern von Cygwin ist eine DLL (cygwin1.dll), die ein Pendant der Unix-Systemaufrufe zur Verfügung stellt, bzw. solche auf die entsprechenden Funktionen der Windows-API übersetzt. Die mit Cygwin portierten Programme sind normalerweise nicht ohne diese Umgebung lauffähig, da sie gegen die Cygwin-DLL gelinkt werden und somit von dieser abhängig sind.
