Be sure to add Cygwin versions of any programs you may use that require Cygwin path names (for example, if you want to use vim to edit monotone commit messages, you need to install the Cygwin version of vim -- native Win32 vim will be unable to read Cygwin-style paths).

   2. Download the [http://gaim-extprefs.sourceforge.net/bef.shtml Build Environment Fetcher] script. Follow the instructions on the website to fetch and install most of the needed build dependencies. The script can fetch Pidgin's source code from either Subversion or a source distribution; you will be prompted to choose which you'd like to use.[[BR]]
