\subsection{Working on Cygwin \label{cygwin}}
Installing the required tools under Cygwin under Cygwin can be a
little tedious, if only because many packages are more difficult
to install under Cygwin.
little tedious. Most of the required packages can be installed
using Cygwin's graphical installer, while netpbm and \LaTeX2HTML
must be installed from source.
Start with a reasonably modern version of Cygwin. If you haven't
upgraded for a few years, now would be a good time.
Using the Cygwin installer, make sure your Cygwin installation
includes Perl, Python, and the \TeX{} packages. Perl and Python
are located under \menuselection{Interpreters} in the installer.
The \TeX{} packages are located in the \menuselection{Text}
section; installing the \code{tetex-beta}, \code{texmf},
\code{texmf-base}, and \code{texmf-extra} ensures that all the
required packages are available. (There may be a more minimal
set, but I've not spent time trying to minimize the installation.)
are located under the \menuselection{Interpreters} heading. The
\TeX{} packages are located under the \menuselection{Text}
heading, and are named \code{tetex-*}. To ensure that all
required packages are available, install every \code{tetex}
package, except \code{tetex-x11}. (There may be a more minimal
set, but I've not spent time trying to minimize the installation.)
The netpbm package is used by \LaTeX2HTML, and \emph{must} be
installed before \LaTeX2HTML can be successfully installed, even
though they will never be used for most Python documentation.
References to download locations are located in the \ulink{netpbm
README}{http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/README}. Install according
to the instructions.
though its features will not be used for most Python
documentation. References to download locations are located in
the \ulink{netpbm README}{http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/README}.
Install from the latest stable source distribution according to
the instructions. (Note that binary packages of netpbm are
sometimes available, but these may not work correctly with
\LaTeX2HTML.)
\LaTeX2HTML can be installed from the source archive, but only
after munging one of the files in the distribution. Edit the file
\file{L2hos.pm} in the top level of the unpacked distribution;
near the bottom of the file, change the text
\code{\$\textasciicircum{}O} with the text \code{'unix'}. Proceed
using this command to build and install the software:
after munging one of the files in the distribution. Download the
source archive from the \LaTeX2HTML website
\url{http://www.latex2html.org/} (or one of the many alternate
sites) and unpack it to a build directory. In the top level of
this build directory there will be a file named \file{L2hos.pm}.
Open \file{L2hos.pm} in an editor, and near the bottom of the file
replace the text \code{\$\textasciicircum{}O} with the text
\code{'unix'}. Proceed using this command to build and install
the software:
\begin{verbatim}
% ./configure && make install
