[Magic-dev] Magic for Windows Versions 7.2 and 7.3

[Iqbalur Rahman]

Dear Sir,

I am trying to use Magic, the interactive layout editor supporting on-line
design rule checking and circuit extraction, developed by the group of John
Ousterhout at the University of California at Berkeley.
I already downloaded and setup Cygwin. I also downloaded magic_win.zip
<http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/magic/windows/archive/magic_win.zip>
(Magic for Windows Versions 7.2 and 7.3) from
http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/magic/windows/windows.html.
Then I tried to invoke magic by doing following step:
1.     Run magic by bringing up a new Cygwin terminal. Type "export
DISPLAY=:0" then "magic" or "magic -d OGL".
But I am getting error message:
======================= Begin ==========================
irahman at labcordpc ~
$ export DISPLAY=:0
irahman at labcordpc ~
$ XWin_GL -multiwindow
bash: XWin_GL: command not found
irahman at labcordpc ~
$
$ magic
Magic 7.2 - Compiled on Sat Apr 10 11:45:24 EST 2004.
Couldn't open display; check DISPLAY variable
The graphics display couldn't be correctly initialized.
Use '-d NULL' if you don't need graphics.

====================== end ===============================
Would you please help me out in order to resolve this issue and can use
magic EDA tool for our VLSI academic program.
I’ll really appreciate your kind help and cooperation in this regard.
Thanks.
