On my system I already have Cygwin. I want to install the standalone Context.
Which involves basically:
mkdir -o /opt/context
cd /opt/context
wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
chmod 744 first-setup.sh
./first-setup.sh
#this works up to this point
Mojca, thank you very much for the detailed and informative information.
Regarding the native for cygwin Context, I am currently using TeXLive for
Unix-ish Platforms. So the Context In TeXLive for Unix platforms works or has
been made to work on Cygwin at some step in the process by someone.
