+# ngspice build script for CYGWIN console (X11), release version, 64 bit
+# compile_cyg_make_check.sh
+
+# short version, cd into release64_cyg, then call make, make install, make check
+
+#Procedure:
+# Install CYGWIN, plus bison, flex, auto tools, perl, libiconv, libintl
+# Install gcc, activate OpenMP support
+# start compiling with
+# './compile_cyg_auto.sh'
+
+# Options:
+# --adms and --enable-adms will install extra HICUM, EKV and MEXTRAM models via the 
+# adms interface.
+# Please see http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/admshowto.html for more info on adms.
+# CIDER, XSPICE, and OpenMP may be selected at will.
+# --disable-debug will give O2 optimization (versus O0 for debug) and removes all debugging info.
+# --enable-oldapps will make ngnutmeg ngsconvert ngproc2mod ngmultidec ngmakeidx in addition to ngspice
