Installation

1. download setup.exe from its official website;

2. run setup.exe, select "download without installing" option;

3. when asking for download website, select the first 163.com and three .cn sites, thus bypassing the connection restriction of company LAN;

4. cygwin app dir is: d:\apps\cygwin; cygwin packages dir is: e:\mydoc\cygwinPkgs;

5. when asking for packages, select package "Debug" & "Devel"(assure vi, git, apt-get, gcc, gdb, make, c99, pkg-config, doxygen, valgrind & Graphviz are included), select all related packages;

6. rerun setup.exe, select "install from local directory" option;

7. Root Directory($CYGWIN_ROOT): e:\mydoc\cygwinRoot;

8. install a icon at start menu;

9. run app from start menu;

Usage

• Window size, font and fore/background color are all customized via "Options" in popup menu;

• In cygwin, "/cygdrive" is the root of all windows logic drivers(c:, d:, e:, etc). e.g. " /cygdrive/e/mydoc" in cygwin equals to "e:\mydoc" in windows ;

• "/" in cygwin equals to "e:\mydoc\cygwinRoot" in windows. So when you mkdir under /home/chad in cygwin, actually the directory is created in e:\mydoc\cygwinRoot\home\chad in windows;

• customize window scroll keys: options -> Window;

install ssh server

1. install openssh for cygwin: Net -> openssh

2. run cygwin as administrator;

3. ssh-host-config -y

4. enter a password for default ssh user "cyg_server"

5. cygrunsrv --start sshd

启动后在Windows的“服务”中可以看到一个名为"CYGWIN sshd"的本地服务，"sshd"是其“服务名称”，"CYGWIN sshd"是"显示名称"，用netstat可以看到有进程在22端口监听。
