How to build lepton-eda on windows 64 bit under CYGWIN starting from zero.

  1. Download "setup-x86_64.exe" from cygwin and install cygwin base packages.
  2. Run "setup-x86_64.exe" again and add the following packages:
Package         Category
-------------------------
gcc-g++         devel
make            devel
pkg-config      devel
Guile           interpreters (libguile2, devel)
GTK+            lib          (gtk, devel, runtime)
FLEX            devel
GAWK            interpreters
Python2.7       interpreter  (interpreter, devel)
Git             devel
Autoconf        devel
Automake        devel
Libtool         devel        (generic)
Gettext         text
Gettext-devel   devel
Gmp             lib          (gmp, libgmp-devel)
Image-magick    graphics
xorg-server     X11
xinit           X11
  1. Start cygwin
mkdir lepton-eda
cd lepton-eda

make in a file with the following script, let say "build.sh", and run it. It takes a while

#START
#----------------------------------
# Set up Your destination directory
# (it can be outside cygwin)
#----------------------------------
DSTDIR=$HOME/geda


#----------------------------------
#* Cleanup any existing SOURCE directory
#* Create a new one
#* Clone GIT
#----------------------------------
if [ -d source ]; then
   echo "Removing old source directory"
   rm -Rf source
   echo "done"
fi
#-----------
mkdir source
cd source
git clone https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda.git
cd lepton-eda
./autogen.sh
cd ..
cd ..
echo "autogen done"


#----------------------------------
# Cleanup any existing BUILD directory
# Create a new one

echo "Create a build directory"
if [ -d build ]; then
   echo "Removing old build directory"
   rm -Rf build
   echo "done"
fi
#-----------
mkdir build
cd build


#----------------------------------

mkdir lepton-eda
(
   cd lepton-eda

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DSTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

   > ../lepton-eda-configure.log 2>&1
   #-----------------
   # MAKE step 1 -> This will exit with error on undefined reference to liblepton but create

   echo "done"
   #-----------------
   # MAKE step 2 -> let add -llepton -lleptonrenderer and
   #                run make again to full build lepton-eda package
   #-----------------
   echo "STEP 2/2 Building lepton-eda (for details see build/lepton-eda-make-s2.log)"
   make LDFLAGS="-no-undefined -llepton -lleptonrenderer -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0" > ../lepton-eda-make-s2.log 2>&1
   echo "Installing lepton-eda (for details see build/lepton-eda-install-s2.log)"
   make LDFLAGS="-no-undefined" install > ../lepton-eda-install-s2.log 2>&1
   echo "done"
   #-----------------
)

# Make /.local/share dir just because it requires privileges
mkdir $HOME/.local
mkdir $HOME/.local/share
#END
  1. Add the following environmental variables to windows. You need to adjust path according to your $DSTDIR (lepton-eda installation directory) (mine is /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/mario/geda)
GEDABIN         =/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/mario/geda/bin
GEDADATA        =/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/mario/geda/share/geda
GEDADATARC      =/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/mario/geda/share/geda
LIBLEPTON       =/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/mario/geda/lib/liblepton
GUILE_LOAD_PATH =/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/usr/share/guile/2.0
DISPLAY         =:0

(you need a restart to make them active)

  1. END

RUN SCHEMATIC

Before run lepton-schematic you need to start an X-server like cygwin "XWin Server", there is an icon in start menu (I added it in start-up). Now you can run "lepton-schematic" directly from windows.

NETLIST

Lepton-netlist is a guile script so you must run it through a bash shell as example (in my case):

bash /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/mario/geda/bin/lepton-netlist -g tango -o board.net board.sch
