Build_Cyg64

Building Instructions

Cygwin

• Download and run Cygwin64: setup-x86_64.exe

• Choose direct connection / install from the internet

• When given the opportunity to choose a mirror, choose one close to you. We'll use http://mirrors.kernel.org

• Install the following packages (most under Devel, wget under Web):

gcc-c++ cmake git wget subversion xinit

• Finish the installation, accepting default options

• Open Cygwin64 Terminal

• Install apt-cyg (copy & paste these lines in the Cygwin64 terminal):

svn --force export http://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ /bin/
chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg

• Install the Synfig dependencies (triple-clicking in some browsers will select the whole line):

apt-cyg -m http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ install pkg-config libglibmm2.4-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel libmng-devel libpoco-devel libfreetype-devel libfontconfig-devel libxml2-devel libcairomm1.0-devel libcairo-devel libpangomm1.4-devel libpango1.0-devel libgtkmm2.4-devel
apt-cyg -m ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports install make libboost-devel zlib-devel libxml++2.6-devel libav-devel ffmpeg

• Create a directory for the project (substitute your own custom paths here if you like, but ensure that you use them consistently for the remainder of this guide):

mkdir -p ~/devel/cynfig
cd !$

• Clone the sources from Github:

git clone https://github.com/0u812/cynfig.git .

• Create a build directory and run CMake:

mkdir -p ~/devel/cynfig-build
cd !$
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/devel/cynfig-install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGENERATE_IMAGES=0 ~/devel/cynfig

• At this point, CMake should have finished with no errors. If so, start the build

make -j8 install

• Start the X Server

startxwin

• Copy and paste this into the newly created terminal to Start Synfig Studio

~/devel/cynfig-install/bin/synfigstudio.exe
