Abstract
We supply a binary to build a Japanese TEX environment on Cygwin, which is a UNIX-like environment for Windows. We intend our new binary to be another choice against a famous binary for the native Windows system, to be installed easily, and to be used comfortably by Cygwin users. We choose the following sources for the standard Japanese TEX environment: an ongoing source distribution ‘ptetex’ for TEX processors and a DVI viewer, and the stable version 7.07 for Ghostscript. Since required sources and patches to construct a well-customized Ghostscript are scattered, we gather them into an archive and supply it, too.
We believe anyone can inherit our project. It's because we have little customization by asking the upstream developers to repair some issues, and we open our operations. In this paper, we introduce guidelines on this project and report our activities.
