PC Suite for LG KG200

I have a mobile, LG KG200. I had two basic requirements for a PC Suite:

• I wanted to connect my Laptop to internet through my mobile.
• I wanted to create a backup of my smses, since my sms memory space is quiet low.

Hence I did an extensive google search for a PC Suite for LG KG200 mobile phone for Microsoft Windows OS. I came up with two answers which were more than appropriate.

Solution 1(LG KG200 only):
The first one was the original company PC Suite for LG KG200. You can download a copy of it from here. However it satisfied only half. I was being able to connect to the internet with it, but there was no way I could transfer or create a backup of my smses.

Install:

• Click here to download the file.
  
• Unzip it with 7zip or any other archive manager.
• Follow the instructions from the "Read Me" file.

Solution 2(Universal PC Suite MOBILedit):
The next product I got is probably the best PC Suite I've ever seen.
Features:

• Its an universal PC Suite, called "MOBILedit!", from COMPELSON Labs, with the supporting capability of hundreds of mobiles.
• You can check your mobile compatibilty from here.
• Infact my mobile was not even supported, and yet it worked when I connected it through the data cable.

Installing Cygwin gcc manually

I've already mentioned the process of installing the Cygwin gcc compiler package directly from the internet in Microsoft Windows OS. But for those who are not able to follow it for some reason, here is a way of installing it manually, and this is a much easier process.
I have uploaded the necessary files required. So just download and install the Cygwin gcc.

The procedure:

• Download the file from here.
• Extract the file to any temporary folder.
• Download the Cygwin setup file from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe.
• Double click on "setup.exe".
• If confirmation is asked, click "continue" and then click "next".
• Check the "Install from Local Directory", then "next".
• In "Root Directory" set the location of the Cygwin gcc installation. Recommended is "C:\Cygwin". Click "next".
• In the "Local package Directory" set the directory of the folder you extracted. The name of the folder is "http%3a%2f%2fmirror.cs.vt.edu%2fpub%2fcygwin%2fcygwin%2f.7z". This actually is the original folder formed when the Cygwin package is downloaded from the internet.
• This will automatically install the packages within it.
• Click "Finish" when installation is complete.
• You can now update the packages installed to get the latest benifits of the packages.

Setting the path for the compiler:

• Right click on "My Computer".
• Select "Properties".
• The select "Advanced System settings".
• Click on "Environment variables" at the bottom.
• Select "Path" and click "Edit".
• Add "C:\Cygwin\Bin”(or wherever you have located your Cygwin\bin folder) to the PATH variables list.
• Make sure to separate it from the last path with a ";".
• Click "Ok" and exit.

Installed packages:

• The entire base package
• In the development package:
• binutils.
• gcc core.
• gcc g++.
• gcc g77.
• gcc mingw core.
• gcc mingw g++.
• gcc mingw g77.
• gdb.
• make.
• mingw runtime.

These are the most important and sufficient packages to compile, run or debug C/C++ programs according to gcc standards.

NOTE:
This installed version of Cygwin gcc compiler can be used along with NetBeans or any other IDEs to compile programs.

Enjoy!
