Hey Cygwin gurus,I'm on day 4 of my attempted install of Gedit-3.2.6 and my frustration has surpassed my fear of asking the "stupid question". Is this even possible? My OS is Windows 7 Pro and I'm running Cygwin version : $ cygcheck -V cygcheck (cygwin) 1.7.15 System Checker for Cygwin I haven't read anything on "the Web" that leads to me to believe that this is an impossible endeavor. I've downloaded the gedit-3.2.6.tar, unpacked/extracted it and run the Configure file. After numerous attempts and after adding XML:: Perl Parsers, adding intltool-0.50.2 and Expat 2.1.0 plus anything else it asked for, I am now being told that required packages are missing, them being: gtksourceview-3.0 libpeas-1.0 libpeas-gtk-1.0 The above packages I did not find under the Cygwin package list. I was able to find, download and configure gtksourceview-3.0 but it still comes up missing when I re-run the gedit configure. I found libpeas-1.4.0 but have not been able to configure it. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be most grateful.
You can't just extract a tar.bz2 to cygwin tree and expect it to work if you don't know what you are doing. Probably there are missing dependencies or post-install tasks to be done. Since GEdit belongs to gnome environment it's not in the default cygwin setup.exe tree, you should install it from cyports: http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/
