[Socbuilder-developer] Developing under Windows

[Bill C. <bi...@vi...>]

Hi.

If you currently develop under Windows rather than Linux, Unix, or Mac, 
I highly recommend checking out the cygwin package from RedHat.  It's a 
Windows development package that comes with lots of Linux goodies.  You 
can find it at:

    http://cygwin.com

I generally install all the packages, except some of the text 
manipulation stuff.  At a minimum, be sure to get cvs and ssh.  To log 
into your sourceforge account using ssh, type:

    ssh -l <your_login> socbuilder.sourceforge.net

You will be asked for your password, and then you'll be put into a 
Unix-like bash shell.  If you don't know how to use this kind of shell, 
well it's never to late to learn!  EdA developers and ASIC designers 
generally find these tools to be very helpful.  Feel free to send me 
mail if you need some tips.

Bill
