How to install SystemC 2.3 on Windows

To install SystemC libraries in Windows platform,


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Very first thing you'll need is cygwin installed on your system.
- To use SystemC libraries you'll need basic cygwin packages and packages like, Make, Qt, GNU g++, gdb etc.
Please comment below regarding cygwin package help.
- Once you have a cygwin environment ready, follow steps for SystemC installation given below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Download SystemC 2.3 from Accellera.org or this Git repository.
- Extract the files in, say, systemc-2.3 folder.
- Open cygwin terminal and go to systemc-2.3 folder.

- Create objdir directory using 'mkdir objdir'.
- Go to objdir directory. 'cd objdir'
- Type '../configure'. If it doesn't work it's because you don't have configure file in systemc-2.3 as executable. Type 'chmod 777 ../configure' to make 'configure' executable.
- After it is successful, type 'make pthreads_debug'.
- Now, type 'make pthreads'.

Once above steps has been done. You have SystemC libraries installed successfully on your Windows.
