Cygwin is a Unix-like environment that runs under Windows.
-
If
you do not have it already, you first need to install the Java runtime
-
Then make sure it is in your Windows path: open a Command Prompt
(MSDOS) window and type "java". If you get no response, go to
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced ->
Environment Variables, highlight path and press
edit and append a semicolon and the location of the java
runtime (probably c:\Program Files\j2sdk_nb\jvm\bin). Start
a new command prompt window and check for "java" again.
-
Next, install Cygwin from www.cygwin.com (version >= 1.5.3) and check that "java" works from there, too.
-
Then download the SAL
Cygwin tar file into
your Cygwin directory.
-
In Cygwin, type tar xzf
sal-2.0-bin-i686-pc-cygwin.tar.gz, then cd sal-2.0 and
./install.sh.
-
Copy your license certificate to this
directory, then type sal-smc and check that it seems to be working.
