Cygwin
Lepton EDA releases 1.9.13,
1.9.14 and
1.9.16
can easily be built and installed under Cygwin.
Please note that lepton-attrib, the batch attribute editor,
now depends on the gtkextra library.
Though there is no
readily available package in Cygwin distribution, you can
download the source code from http://gtkextra.sourceforge.net
(version 3.0.0 or higher, current version is 3.3.4).
Build and install it the usual way:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install.
Alternatively, you can disable building of lepton-attrib:
pass the --disable-attrib command line option to the
lepton-eda configure script.
After downloading and extracting the lepton-eda source archive
and installing dependencies (see below), run the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make LDFLAGS="-no-undefined -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0"
make LDFLAGS="-no-undefined" install
After that, the Lepton EDA suite should be installed in
/usr/local/ and ready to use.
Please note that other releases might not compile and/or
work under Cygwin (except 1.9.10, you can find the
instructions below). It is highly recommended to use the
releases mentioned above.
Build instructions for Lepton EDA release 1.9.10.
After installing dependencies, execute the following commands in the Lepton source directory. Run them in sequence, ignoring errors:
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-nls
make LDFLAGS="-no-undefined -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0"
make LDFLAGS="-no-undefined" install
make LDFLAGS="-no-undefined -llepton -lleptonrenderer -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0"
make LDFLAGS="-no-undefined" install

- Download "setup-x86_64.exe" from cygwin and install cygwin base packages.
- Run "setup-x86_64.exe" again and add the following packages:

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.
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
