First log in to a Cygwin-Shell and run &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;/usr/bin/cygserver-config&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt;. Answer Yes to install cygserver as service. Then open a Windows shell with the START button of your Windows box and choose Run. Type &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;cmd.exe&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt; or &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;command.exe&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt;, hit enter and type &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;net start cygserver&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt;. To automatically start the service with Windows, set &lt;tt&gt;Starttype&lt;/tt&gt; for &#039;&#039;&#039;cygrunsrv&#039;&#039;&#039; to &#039;&#039;Automatic&#039;&#039; (see Start &gt; Control Panel &gt; Computer Administration &gt; Services and Applications &gt; Services : CYGWIN cygserver : Properties). To stop the service, type &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;net stop cygserver&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt;.<br /> * To allow Bluefish to use the Cygserver facilities (to use the XSI IPC function calls like &lt;tt&gt;msgget&lt;/tt&gt; successfully) you need to export the &lt;tt&gt;CYGWIN&lt;/tt&gt; environment variable. Add the following line to your ~/.bash_profile:&lt;br/&gt; &#039;&#039;&#039;$&#039;&#039;&#039; export CYGWIN=server<br /> * To run Bluefish, first start the X server with &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;startx&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt;, then launch bluefish with &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;/usr/bin/bluefish.exe&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt; (if you have configured bluefish with &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;./configure --prefix=/usr&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt;).<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Man1_note.png]] For further details, see the [http://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/index.php?pagename=CompilingUnderCygwin Compile Bluefish for Cygwin] wiki page.<br /> <br /> Debian:<br /> <br /> * Debian Woody (the current Stable) has an old GTK 2.0.2 version, that contains several known bugs, but they are not serious.<br /> * Debian Sarge (currently in Testing) has Bluefish 1.0 and GTK 2.6.4 version.<br /> * Debian Sid (Unstable) will always have the latest Bluefish version.<br /> <br /> Mandrake:<br /> <br /> * libpcre: Breaks pcre into 3 different pieces, make sure pcre-devel is installed if compiling from source. Try this command: &lt;br/&gt; &#039;&#039;&#039;$&#039;&#039;&#039; rpm -ql pcre-devel<br /> * &#039;&#039;... more nags with Mandrake?&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> Fink:<br /> <br /> * Fink binary distribution for Mac OS X 10.1 has Bluefish 0.7 (unmaintained).<br /> * Fink for Mac OS X 10.2 has Bluefish 0.12 in binary or stable source distribution, and Bluefish 0.13 in unstable source branch.<br /> * Fink for Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4-transitional has Bluefish 1.0 in binary distribution, Bluefish 1.0.4 in stable source branch, and Bluefish 1.0.5 in unstable source branch. The source branches have three variants: bluefish, bluefish-gnomevfs2, and bluefish-gnome2.<br /> * Fink&#039;s latest cvs version is always available from the [http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/experimental/michga/ Fink&#039;s maintainer experimental cvs tree]. It is meant to run on Mac OS X 10.4.<br /> <br /> [[File:Man1_note.png]] If you have trouble starting bluefish with fink, first read the [http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/index.php Fink&#039;s Faq page]. If this does not solve your problem, send an email to the maintainer ([mailto:michele.garoche(at)easyconnet.fr michele.garoche(at)easyconnet.fr]), finally, as last resort, ask for help on the [http://fink.sourceforge.net/lists/index.php beginners or users Fink mailing lists] or on the “#fink” channel on [irc://irc.freenode.net#fink freenode.net irc://irc.freenode.net#fink freenode.net].<br /> <br /> DarwinPorts:<br /> <br /> * Version 1.0.5 is available. Go to [http://bluefish.darwinports.com/ http://bluefish.darwinports.com/] to find detailed informations about its installation.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Man1bottom<br /> |prev=Man 1 ch02s02<br /> |up=Man 1 ch02<br /> |next=Man 1 ch02s04<br /> |prevname= 2.&amp;nbsp;Quick Standard Installation<br /> |nextname=4.&amp;nbsp;Installing a Bluefish Source Distribution<br /> }}</div>
