As of 2006-02-16 do not use GCC 4.0.x; instead use GCC 3.4.4.
The following is a list of the packages from Cygwin needed to build SAGE and all optional packages. You do not need all these for building just SAGE. To build SAGE:
automake1.7, bison, gcc-core, gcc-g++, make, rebase, clisp, gnuplot, flex
binutils, gcc-mingw, gcc-mingw-g++, mingw-runtime, w32api, aclocal, crypt, expat, libdb4, m4, perl
gsl
To build pygtk-2.6.3:
automake1.7, gettext, glib2, glib2-devel, glib2-doc, glib2-runtime, gtk+, gtk+-devel, gtk+-doc, gtk+-engines, gtk2-x11, gtk2-x11-devel, gtk2-x11-doc, gtk2-x11-runtime, intltool, libglade2, libtool1.5, libXft-devel, libxml2-devel, libxml2-doc, pango-devel, pango-doc, pkgconfig
The following packages are added by the Cygwin setup program when the above are installed:
alternatives, atk, atk-devel, atk-doc, atk-runtime, automake1.9, file, fontconfig, freetype2, glib, glib-devel, imlib, libfontconfig-devel, libfongconfig1, libfreetype2-devel, libfreetype26, libltdl3, libpng12, libtiff4, libtiff5, libungif, libungif4, libXft, openjade, openSP, pango, pango-runtime, pcre, xorg-x11-devel, xorg-x11-* (lots of stuff)
libpng12-devel, gdk-pixbuf, gdk-pixbuf-devel, gdk-pixbuf-doc, hicolor-icon-theme
Cygwin as of 2006-04-13 has bugs that make certain Python extensions break (this has been discussed on the cygwin board, and will hopefully be fixed soon). You should install (and build) SAGE using the latest Cygwin install, then downgrade 7 packages, as explained below.
There are 7 cygwin packages that seem to be affected by the 1.5.19.4 problem. If you use the versions listed below, you can use (as far as I can tell) the latest version of anything else:
coreutils 5.3.0.9 cygwin 1.5.18-1 findutils 4.2.25-2 gettext 0.14.1-1 libgettextpo0 0.14.1-1 sed 4.1.4-* w32api 3.5-1-*
To install these:
If you need to install new Cygwin packages, be sure to click the ``keep'' radio button at the top before selecting them, so you don't accidently upgrade the above packages.
