# Setting Up Cygwin

## Cygwin Contents

The following packages are included in the native Win32 release of GNUPro:

GNUPro development tools: binutils, bison, byacc, dejagnu, diff, expect, flex, gas, gcc, gdb, itcl, ld, libstdc++, make, patch, tcl, tix, tk

GNUPro unsupported tools: ash, bash, bzip2, diff, fileutils, findutils, gawk, grep, gzip, m4, sed, shellutils, tar, textutils, time

## Installing the binary release

Load the GNUPro CD-ROM and run the installer. It will take you through the installation process, starting with asking for your install location. Once the installation is complete, there will be a new Program Files folder that you can use to obtain a shell from which you can run the tools.

There are two remaining thing you should do from this prompt. First, you need to type `mkdir -p /tmp` to ensure that a temp directory exists for programs that expect to find one there.

Second, depending on how you intend to use the tools, various programs may need to be able to find `/bin/sh'. You should `mkdir -p /bin' and put a copy of `sh.exe' there, removing the older version, if present. Note that you can use the `mount' utility to select which drive letter is mounted as `/'.

If you should ever want to uninstall the tools, you may do so via the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel.
