Thread: SAC installation under Cygwin

Hi folks,

I'm away from my home base for several months, and have switched to using Cygwin on my laptop. I'd like to install SAC, but I can't find much reference to Cygwin in the sac-help archives, which suggests that what I'm trying to do is either straightforward or completely intimidating.

Has someone out there successfully installed SAC under Cygwin and worked out what extra packages are necessary? I've set OSTYPE to 'linux' (because 'cygwin' isn't an option), but 'make' ends part-way through and it's not clear to me how fundamental the problem is.

Thanks for your advice,
John.
