A slightly modified binary release of 1.5.71 is now available for
download.
Also, teTeX has been updated. A small but fatal flaw (thank Mats) has
been corrected and other fixes and suggestions have been addressed
too.
Download and run
http://lilypond.org/cygwin/setup.exe
or point you setup.exe to
http://lilypond.org/cygwin
As an aside, Cygwin now also includes GNU Emacs (not available from
the lilypond.org mirror, goto http://cygwin.com). Together with xdvi
from tetex-x11, this should bring out of the box point and click
functionality on Windows (see the reference manual), but this hasn't
been tested.
Enjoy

This new tetex release will probably included in Cygwin. Here's the
release information for teTeX.
tetex-bin (20020530-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Configure --with-dialog, as Cygwin does not have its own dialog.
* Split xdvi, oxdvi and mwf into new tetex-x11 package, and by special
request install in /usr/X11R6. Not sure if this works in all cases,
as teTeX does not support a different X11 prefix.
* cygwin/tetex-bin.hint (requires): Add libkpathsea3.

tetex-texmf (20020530-3) unstable; urgency=low
* config/fmtutil.cnf: Add missing entries for mf, mfw, mpost, amstex,
jadetex and pdfjadetex. (Mats Bengtsson)
* Rename source package to tetex-20020530-3-src.

NEWS:
* New maintainer for tetex binaries.
* New upstream release (20020530).
* Packaged using mknetrel.
* Shared object libraries for tetex binaries.
* New package names: tetex-bin, tetex-base, tetex-extra, tetex-doc,
tetex-tiny.
* Binary package split up: tetex-bin, tetex-devel, libkpatsea3.
* Included xdvi and mfw in tetex-x11 package.
* Basic config files management.
* Added `Publishing' to the teTeX package category. [Until now it
was just `Text', but TeX is not really a text application. Debian
uses `tex', but I didn't think that would be useful. Another
reason to suggest Publishing, is that it would be a category that
LilyPond would fit in too. Or would we rather have a new `Music'
caterogy for Lily?]
For a smooth upgrade, new upgrade helper packages are provided. These
look like new versions of tetex-beta, texmf, texmf-base, texmf-extra,
texmf-doc and texmf-tiny, but in fact they're (almost) empty and
depend on their new counterpart package. Doing an update installs the
`new versions' of your tex packages, but as they're empty, this
effectively removes the old tex installation. Because the new
packages are automatically selected, you get a new tex installation.
CAVEATS:
* New port, initial upload to Cygwin.
* Some care has been taken to treat config files specially (see
/etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh). However, the previous packages
did not do this, and if you don't want to risk losing changes you
made, make backups first. (Does setup.exe have a framework yet
to tag and handle config files? It would be good if setup.exe
would offer choices and show diffs.)
* TeTeX depends on quite a number of packages. This should be
handled automagically, but the old binary package lacked some of
these requirements, which may still lead to missing programs and
missing dlls. For missing DLLs, you get a nice, annoying popup
box, but missing programs may go unnoticed. Any of the two may
break your teTeX configuration. See below for a list of required
packages, and where to get DLLs.
* The new tex suite should work flawlessly on a clean install and
has been tested to work as an upgrade. However, upgrading may
bring hairy problems, notably if the old binaries were not fully
removed or if config files have been tinkered with. If you run
into any problems, uninstall all tetex-beta and texmf packages,
remove /usr/share/texmf, and try again.
* After installation, /etc/postintall/post-texmf.sh[.done] gets
executed, to configure teTeX and generate the format files. If
anything goes wrong, you may want to look at this script, or
rerun it after you fixed stuff.
* Kpathsea has been patched to not search down UNC paths by
default. Problems with configuration settings may trigger
searches into the `hosts' `//share' and `//texmf', which is not
what you want. If you're using TeX over the network, make sure
your configuration is fixed, and set environment variable
`KPSE_SEARCH_UNC'.
Requirements and DLLs.
TeTeX and LilyPond depend on a number of library packages, but as it
seems, they sometimes do not get selected automagically.
teTeX
requires: ash cygwin ed grep jpeg libncurses6 libpng12 tiff sed
termcap zlib
LilyPond
requires: bash libguile14 libiconv2 libintl2 libkpathsea3
python tetex-bin tetex-tiny
DLL Package
cygguile-14.dll libguile14
cygintl-2.dll libintl2
cygiconv-2.dll libiconv2
cygltdl-3.dll libltdl3
cygpcre.dll pcre
cygpng12.dll libpng12
cygtiff3.dll tiff
Also, the more general info on missing DLLs may be helpful:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC32
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01619.html
After a successful installation of tetex (tetex-bin, tetex-tiny or
tetex-base, and libkpathsea3), you should be able to run, eg,
latex sample2e
dvips -o sample2e.ps sample2e
If you install XFree86 tetex-x11 and ghostscript-x11, you may even
view the output just like you would do on UNIX:
xdvi sample2e.dvi &
To view the output in the Windows, non-XFree enviroment, you need a
PostScript viewer. It has been suggested that gv is available for
Cygwin, but I can't seem to find it. However, you can find a plain
Windows one here: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost. After installing
Ghostscript and GSView, you may do:
gsview32 sample2e.ps # view
gsview32 /s sample2e.ps # print
