Get Cygwin 7 | 8 | 32-bit version: https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe 9 | 64-bit version: https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe 10 | 11 | 12 | ## Installing Initial Cygwin Package 13 | **Select Packages** and search for **lynx** and under **Web** will be *"lynx: A text-based Web Browser"* 14 | 15 | Click on **lynx** once, and click **next**, let it download and install. 16 | 17 | *Create icon on Desktop* as we will need to run **Cygwin as Administrator**. 18 | 19 | 20 | ## Installing Additional Cygwin Packages 21 | After installing *lynx*, we can now install other packages much easier. 22 | 23 | 24 | ### Install apt-cyg 25 | 26 | **Open Cygwin Terminal as Administrator** 27 | 28 | Put the following code into Cygwin. 29 | 30 | lynx -source rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg > apt-cyg 31 | install apt-cyg /bin 32 | 33 | Check out apt-cyg on [Github](https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg) 34 | 35 | 36 | ### Installing Development Tools 37 | Just copy and paste this whole block of text into **Cygwin** and let it download and install all of the Development-related tools. 38 | 39 | apt-cyg install ca-certificates 40 | apt-cyg install git 41 | apt-cyg install make 42 | apt-cyg install openssh 43 | apt-cyg install perl 44 | apt-cyg install python 45 | apt-cyg install wget 46 | apt-cyg install unzip 47 | 48 | 49 | ##

Installing iOSToolchain4Win 60 | 61 | mkdir -p $THEOS/toolchain/windows 62 | 63 | ### 32-Bit System 64 | Only supports up to **iOS 8.4 SDK** with armv7 *(no support for arm64)*. 65 | 66 | git clone -b master https://github.com/coolstar/iOSToolchain4Win.git $THEOS/toolchain/windows/iphone 67 | 68 | ### 64-Bit System 69 | Supports up to **iOS 9.3 SDK** with armv7 and arm64. *(possibly iOS 10 SDK)* 70 | 71 | git clone -b x86_64 https://github.com/coolstar/iOSToolchain4Win.git $THEOS/toolchain/windows/iphone 72 | 73 | 74 | ## Obtaining SDKs 75 | Grab the necessary SDKs you need for development and download them. 76 | 77 | ### Creating SDK directory 78 | 79 | mkdir $THEOS/sdks 80 | cd $THEOS/sdks 81 | 82 | ### Installing SDK 83 | *Replace* **X.X** *with the* **iOS version** *you wish to download* 84 | 85 | ~~wget https://sdks.website/dl/iPhoneOSX.X.sdk.tbz2~~ 86 | 87 | wget http://resources.airnativeextensions.com/ios/iPhoneOSX.X.sdk.zip 88 | 89 | Check out ~~[sdks.website](https://sdks.website)~~ [airnativeextensions.com](http://resources.airnativeextensions.com/ios/) for available SDKs. 90 | 91 | ### Extracting SDK 92 | *Replace* **X.X** *with the* **iOS version** *you wish to extract* 93 | 94 | ~~tar xvf iPhoneOSX.X.sdk.zip~~ 95 | 96 | unzip iPhoneOSX.X.sdk.zip 97 | 98 | 99 | ##
