The build of TeXLive-2008.release with GCC-3.4.4-3 and Cygwin-1.5.25-15
=======================================================================


You can download the binaries as follow:

wget -N http://www.webalice.it/angelo.graziosi/cygwin/texlive/texlive-2008.release.tar.lzma


At the moment, the procedure to install TeXLive-2008 on Cygwin is as the
following:

  0. EXCLUDE EVERY OTHER TEX SYSTEM (MiKTeX, teTeX) eventually installed!

  1. mkdir -p /usr/local/texlive/2008

  2. tar -C /usr/local/texlive/2008 --lzma -xvf texlive-2008.release.tar.lzma

  3. wget -N ftp://tug.org/texlive/Images/texlive2008-20080822.iso.lzma

  4. You have to unpack (for example, with 7-zip, http://www.7-zip.org/)
     texlive2008-20080822.iso.lzma on HD, for example in /tmp/texlive.

  5. cp /usr/local/texlive/2008/tlpkg/installer/lzma/lzma*.i386-cygwin* /tmp/texlive/tlpkg/installer/lzma

  6. Now you must install the TeXLive packages with the bash script:

        /tmp/texlive/install-tl

     DO NOT CHOOSE ANY BINARIES, you have done this at step 2!
     Simply accept the default typing 'i'.

  7. Set the PATH so that the new binaries are found, for example:

        export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-cygwin:$PATH


The binaries have been built with the option '--without-graphite'.
