Hello Mike, First, thanks for deciding to try out Gregorio! Hopefully, this will help you get started... You will actually need all the supplementary software listed at http://home.gna.org/gregorio/installation-windows . Sorry this was unclear: for the previous release (0.9.2) of Gregorio, we provided a precompiled version for cygwin users. To use *that* version, one would only need the 6 packages you listed. Since you're compiling 1.0, you will need the additional packages too. > [. . .] > 4. Here is where some difficulty emerged.

Steps 2-3 look fine. In step 4, I have no idea(?) why the computer wanted to save the package with a double tar extension. Saving it as "gregorio-1.0.tar.gz" is correct. > 5.

The specific location isn't too important (as long as you know where it is). Once you run the complete installation process successfully, all the files & the compiled program will be placed in the right places. > 6.

Again, if you install all the additional packages listed on the webpage, the pkgconfig, glib2, and make errors should go away. Then just follow the "Compiling Gregorio" instructions, from the bottom of the previously-mentioned Windows installation page from the Gregorio site. I think that should clear up everything. Please don't hesitate to email the list again if you still need help getting Gregorio installed, or have any other questions. Hope that helps, -Tracy _______________________________________________ Gregorio-users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/gregorio-users
