  1. XPP installation.
    Precompiled version could be installed easely: have it unzipped - may travel. To compile from the sources you need CYGWIN (read more about CYGWIN), and then you can do it as if you are under LINUXcd to the directory, where the sources were unzipped and issue make command. The only preliminary thing you should do, is to comment several lines in the makefile from the Standard Linux distributions section, namely, those beginning with CFLAGS=…, LDFLAGS=… и LIBS=…, and then uncomment the corresponding lines from the CYGWIN section.

  2. How to start XPP under CYGWIN.
    If you have CYGWIN installed with X-server onboard (read more about X-server), you may do it the next way: run CYGWIN, start the server with startx command, then in the window opened start the file manager with the mc command (certainly, if you have it installed along with CYGWIN). Next, go to the directory where you have XPP installed, and start xppaut.exe. It should be noted that under CYGWIN logical drives are mapped to the directory /cygdrives. Well, of course, you are not obliged to start the file manager - you may simply cd to the target directory.
