<br>
</span>Without knowing the specific issue it is difficult to say and it's been<br>
a while since i've done it, but here are some general pointers:<br>
<br>
There is no need to compile from source, try using the precompiled<br>
version : xcrysden-1.5.60-cygwin.tar.gz<br>
<br>
apt-cyg is available here: <a href="https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/transcode-<wbr>open/apt-cyg</a><br>
<br>
The dependencies are (from README.cygwin):<br>
<br>
* tcl-tk<br>
* fftw3<br>
* libGL1<br>
* libGLU1<br>
* xorg-server<br>
* bash<br>
* bc<br>
* coreutils<br>
* gawk<br>
* grep<br>
* gzip<br>
* ImageMagick<br>
* less<br>
* more<br>
<br>
Make sure that tcl version is 8.5 not 8.6 I think there are some issues<br>
with the new version. You can search for appropriate packages here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/<wbr>package-grep.cgi</a><br>
<br>
and then install by typing:<br>
<br>
apt-cyg install package-name<br>
<br>
after installing all the requirements, make sure that you are running<br>
xserver, i.e. type<br>
<br>
startx<br>
<br>
before trying to run xcrysden. also make sure that the path to the<br>
xcryden execution script is added to your $PATH variable, so that you<br>
can run it from anywhere. If you have any further issues let me know,<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
