Environment setting¶

For MS-Windows:Install the cygwin.¶

A window data need to compile the script. This compiler invokes a gcc’s preprocessor.

Install the cygwin procedure in the MS-Windows environment as follows..

Download the cygwin¶

down load setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe

http://www.cygwin.com/

Installation by choosing the “Devel” package¶

In the “Select Packages”, the Devel Default → Install .

Install¶

Install as instructed.

Add the PATH of enviroment variable .¶

Add the system path to “bin” of the installed folder .

It has become in the following folder by the default

C:\cygwin\bin or  c:\cygwin64\bin(64bit version)

Note

It is not the environment variable of cygwin, it is the system environment variable of windows.

Detailed procedure is as follows.

Click the start menu of windows.

Input “sysdm.cpl” in Search programs and files. New window that named System Properties will appear.

Select the Advanced panel, and click the Enviroment Variables button.

Now that you are looking at the list of system environment variables, find the Path value in the list. You may have to scroll down to find it. Click on the Path value to highlight it as shown here, and then click the Edit button.

A new window will appear with the current value highlighted. Do not remove or change the current value, or you will wreck your user settings!

You will see that the PATH variable already has a default value of something like the following:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

The semicolons separate the values, so there are three components in this default PATH:

%SystemRoot%\system32
%SystemRoot%
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

You want to add ;c:\cygwin\bin to the end of that list, so it becomes something like this. However, do not change the entire string to this example! Leave the existing PATH assignment as you find it and simply add your new directories.

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\cygwin\bin

The confirmation¶

Open a windows command prompt(not the cygwin’s bash!), try typing “gcc –version”. If you have been installed,it is displayed as follows.

When you can not get the same result, you try to check two things.

You confirm to exist gcc.exe in the “C:\cygwin\bin” directory. If you can not find gcc.exe, please rechecked here. .

If you find gcc.exe at the “C:\cygwin\bin” directory, please rechecked here .

For OSX:Install the Command Line Tools in Xcode.¶

If you can not find the gcc on the terminal, please install the Command Line Tools in Xcode.
