That sounds like it should be pretty straight-forward. More backgroud: I'm wondering about using MSVS to develop embedded eCos[1] applications using a Cygwin arm-elf-gcc cross compiler. The VxWorks reference below is right on target. K For our ARM7 based hardware platform we offer a development kit that includes Cygwin and Linux hosted toolchainsalong with a customized copy of the eCos RTOS. One of our internal customers is a group of guys that are 100% MicroSoft people and want to use MS Visual Studio. I'm sure there are going to be similar external customers as well.

Thanks! That's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. It appears that method would even allow Visual Studio to use it's own makefile -- so that users could add/remove source files from the project using the normal methods. Personally, I find that an IDE just slows me down... -- Grant Edwards grante@visi.com P.S. Are you _the_ David Korn? Tired of people asking that? ;) ------ Want more information?
