hmm,<br>
are you trying to "install" Pd (so you can run it) or are you trying to<br>
"compile" Pd yourself?<br>
<br>
if the former, just download the archive, unzip and run<br>
...\pd\bin\pd.exe<br>
(when using Pd-extended, you even get a nice installer, that will<br>
eventually create a desktop icon to start Pd)<br>
<br>
that's it!<br>
no cygwin, no nothing.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
the "autogen.sh" in some README refers to building Pd from sources.<br>
the source package of Pd (which is usually _not_ the zip-archive<br>
labelled w32, but rather something like "pd-0.49-2.tar.gz") will contain<br>
a script autogen.sh which will generate some files needed for compiling Pd.<br>
compiling Pd on cygwin is non-trivial (it seems, i don't know), at least<br>
nobody i know of is doing it (on a regular basis).<br>
if you want to compile Pd on cygwin, you should have a good<br>
understanding of how cygwin works.<br>
