[Xastir] Cygwin Users?

[Dan Srebnick]

The updated Cygwin instructions should work just fine with any full Windows 7 or higher.  But as Curt indicated, I would not expect them to work on one of the limited tablet Windows releases.  That would depend upon whether Cygwin itself works on those platforms.

I'm no Windows expert, but if it's Windows 8 RT? you might have some trouble getting much to run on it.

If it's a more normal x86 processor and Windows 8, I would think some of the earlier (pre-Win10) instructions for Xastir should work to get it running.

Hopefully others that know more about Windows will answer with more specifics. The only time I run Windows anymore is off a couple of dual-boot laptops, for programming radios. Most of my radio programming can be done with Chirp on Linux these days, but I still have a few hold-outs.
