Yesterday, I needed to refer someone to a gEDA Windows installer, so I went to (surprise!) the gEDA web site at gpleda.org. > Note: this is mingw-based, not cygwin-based, and the installer exe > only installs pcb at the moment (unzip the build-*.zip to get an > "everything" install) So is mingw-based better so the user doesn't have a huge cygwin installation in their c:\cygwin? It would be nice to have a more self-contained install. How much Unix tools does gEDA really need to run? Just the Scheme interpreter? Is m4 required if you don't use m4 footprint libraries?
