Re: How ask a question on Tkgate for Cygwin ?

What is the procedure to install Tkgate with the Cygwin version 2.871 ?

tkgate isn't present as a Cygwin package, so you will have to build it from source yourself. tkgate compiles out of the box under Cygwin. However, Fedora carries four patches [1], and you may consider looking at these to see if they are applicable for Cygwin.

Here are the commands I used to compile tkgate:

    wget http://www.tkgate.org/downloads/tkgate-2.0-b10.tgz
    tar -xf tkgate-2.0-b10.tgz
    cd tkgate-2.0-b10/
    ./configure
    make

Then I ran the application like this:

    XWin -multiwindow &
    export DISPLAY=:0.0
    ./src/tkgate/tkgate &

The tkgate application started, and I was presented with a window containing a number of electrical circuit diagrams. However, tkgate isn't an application I'm familiar with, so I stopped there.

You could also install it into your Cygwin installation (although I didn't try this):

    make install
    make install.man

Hope this helps,

Dave.
