Cygwin Ports (via Mowser)

Cygwin Ports project

Welcome to the newest home of the Cygwin Ports project.
This project provides Cygwin binary and source packages for a large variety of programs and libraries, including the GNOME and KDE desktop environments.

New, simplified installation instructions:

Use the latest Cygwin setup.exe (at least version 2.738). Launch setup.exe with the -K flag, e.g.:

cygstart -- /path/to/setup.exe -K http://cygwinports.org/ports.gpg

On Choose Installation Type page, select "Install from Internet". On Choose Download Site(s) page, select a distro mirror, then enter ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports in the User URL field and press Add (making sure that both are highlighted).

Mirrors are available by instead entering http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cygwin-ports as the User URL. Alternatively, you can use a sourceware mirror, but if you do, you must use one hosted on a different server than your selected distro mirror.

Proceed with package selection and installation, making sure to install any indicated dependencies.

Support:

Cygwin Ports uses mailing lists hosted on SourceForge.net. There are two lists, cygwin-ports-general for discussion, and cygwin-ports-announce for new package announcements. Please, do NOT send messages about Cygwin Ports to the cygwin.com lists!
