Try this from a Cygwin terminal:
$ cd /tmp
$ lynx -source
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/cygipc-1.11-1.tar.
bz2 > cygipc-1.11-1.tar.bz2
$ bunzip2.exe cygipc-1.11-1.tar.bz2
$ cd /
$ tar -xvf /tmp/cygipc-1.11-1.tar
Note that the final two steps are a bit unconventional. The tar file expects
to unroll directly into 'usr/local' with no leading '/' so the fastest
install is to cd to root first and then unroll it. Once you've done this:
$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ ls
ipc-daemon.exe ipck ipcrm.exe ipcs.exe ipctest.exe
I've had mixed results doing the install-as-service approach so I usually
just start the ipc-daemon manually via:
$ ipc-daemon.exe &
