Does Cygwin have latex or do I use tex ?
Cygwin's teTeX installation includes both tex and latex, as well as a
number of other TeX-related programs. (TeTeX is described as a
"complete TeX distribution"; these days, LaTeX is considered a required
part of such a thing.)
I have an existing project and make file, possibly from Unix, and it uses
latex and latex2html.
I have installed tex but it does not seem to have a tex2html command.
What commands and what packages do I need ?
LaTeX2HTML is actually a completely separate program from TeX/LaTeX/etc,
though it (of course) processes LaTeX input files. I don't believe that
there is currently a Cygwin package for it, so I suspect you'll need to
install it directly.
The official LaTeX2HTML website is here: http://www.latex2html.org/; it
contains downloads, though it seems fairly sparse on installation info.
In addition, http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/suvrit/work/l2h.html
contains some basic instructions for installing it on Cygwin. A Google
search on "latex2html cygwin" finds others as well.
