This file describes use cases for which I tweaked this package.

Basic usage

Package automatically initializes environment variables, namely:

  • CMDER_PATH (Cmder root directory),
  • JAVA_HOME (%CMDER_PATH%\jdk),
  • JAVA_PATH (%CMDER_PATH%\jvm),
  • JDK_PATH (%CMDER_PATH%\jdk),
  • JRE_PATH (%CMDER_PATH%\jre),
  • GRADLE_PATH (%CMDER_PATH%\tools\gradle),
  • NODE_PATH (%CMDER_PATH%\node)

and adds them to the %PATH% variable, making portable JRE, JDK, Gradle and Node.js installations available in both Cygwin and CMD.exe terminals.

Settings are stored in .bat files used to initialize respective terminals.

Cygwin

It automatically configurs CYGWIN (nodosfilewarning winsymlinks:native) variable. Settings were added to cygwin/Cygwin.bat file used to initialize Cygwin environment.

Cmd.exe

Allows usage of alias command similarly to bash terminal. Settings are stored in vendor.init.bat file.

Features

Both terminals have text coloring (built-in for bash, clint for CMD), as well as display Git branch name for current folder.

Preinstalled software

  • Atom text editor - available in cygwin/usr/local/bin/atom.exe (or atom inside bash),
  • Count lines of code - available as cloc.exe in bash.
  • FAR manager - available in ConEmu menu,
  • LightTable IDE - available in cygwin/usr/local/bin/light-table.exe (or light-table inside bash),
  • Nightcode IDE - available in cygwin/usr/local/bin/nightcode.jar (or nightcode inside bash),
  • Sublime Text text editor - available in cygwin/usr/local/sublime_text.exe.

REPLs

Conemu has Clojure, Ruby and Python REPLs configured and available in menu out of the box. Additionaly Clojure comes with Leiningen already installed.

Chromium development

As package was created with Chromium building in mind it has some Chromium toolchain support already added. It has already configured environment variables (they just need to be enabled in common_variables.bat file):

  • DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN (1),
  • DXSDK_DIR (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)),
  • GYP_DEFINES (windows_sdk_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1" component=shared_library),
  • GYP_GENERATOR_FLAGS (config=Debug),
  • GYP_GENERATORS (msvs-ninja,ninja),
  • GYP_MSVS_VERSION (2013e),
  • GYP_PARALLEL (12),
  • VS100COMNTOOLS (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\),
  • VS120COMNTOOLS (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\),
  • WDK_DIR (C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1)

and Depot tools already checked out in Cygwin in /opt/depot_tools. However directory need to be initialized with /opt/reinstall_depot_tools.sh to have Git, specific Python version GYP and some SDKs downloaded. This must be preceeded by unlocking either Express or Professional VS2013 toolchain (first one is not supported by Chromium at the moment).

Once initialized toolchain's Python can be called as gyp_python inside Cygwin and just python inside CMD. However to work, GYP required adding path to depot tools to PATH variable - it ca be done by calling script setup_PATH_depottools.ps1 with admin rights.

Environment variables are set inside cygwin/Cygwin.bat and vendor/init.bat.

Important! You still will have to install manually:

  • MS Visual Studio Express 13,
  • Windows Driver Kit 7.1,
  • Windows 8.1 SDK.

in this order.

Other installation scripts

Boost 1.55

Run /opt/install_boost.sh to download, build and install Boost 1.55

Chromium's libchrome and minichromium

Run /opt/install_libchrome.sh or /opt/install_mini_chromium.sh respectively.

Text editor plugins

To install some predefined plugins for Atom, Sublime Text or Vim run

  • /opt/install_atom_plugins.sh
  • /opt/install_sublime_text_plugins.sh
  • /opt/install_vim_plugins.sh

respectively.

Known problems

(Portable) Sublime Text crashes when you try try to run it from bash terminal. I don't know how to fix that (or even why it happens).
