[Pw_forum] Alternative to Xcrysden

[Rajesh]

Dear Matic,
I am trying since last 20 days to compile xcrysden on windows 8.1 using
cygwin but always fails. Can you please guide me which version should be
compiled cygwin or semishared? And how to install using apt cygwin utility
and xcrysden through it?


Thanks.

Rajesh
