Glimpse and Cygwin - how to install Glimpse under Cygwin on Windows
By Alvin Alexander. Last updated: June 3 2016
Over the weekend I downloaded and installed the Glimpse search utility on my Windows laptop. Actually, what I'm doing is running glimpse under Cygwin. Because glimpse is generally just available as a source code distribution, I looked around and found a reference to a user who installed it under Cygwin. With that as my encouragement, I downloaded the glimpse source code and had at it.
