Try this Dsixda Kitchen Install Picture Tutor(recommended)
OR
watch this video tutorial by gitagaire for how to setup cygwin and kitchen(recommended)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Download and extract the cygwin_packages.zip
- Run the set up(make sure there is no previous cygwin installation)
NOTE: INSTALL CYGWIN IN ROOT DISK LIKE C:\
- Follow the kitchen read me txt!!!
- local package directory *must* be the path to the cygwin_packages folder that you just extracted
- when it shows all the package names, go to the top and select "all default" until it changes to "all install" (you must click on the arrows)
- Download the kitchen from above. Then, extract the kitchen's .zip file to a folder under your home account. Rename the dsixda-android-kitchen-*** folder to just "kitchen". In Cygwin, this folder would depend on what was set for your Cygwin install directory, e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John\kitchen
NOTE!! If your user folder contains spaces (e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John Smith\kitchen), then the kitchen will not function properly. Instead, copy it under C:\cygwin\home\kitchen. - Now your ready to run the kitchen type:
those who have their kitchen like this C:\cygwin\home\John\kitchen use these commands given below.
