RE: has *anyone* been able to build arm-elf crossgcc with cygwin?

[John Andrews <john at triscend dot com>]

Hi Jeffrey,

With considerable pain and many late hours (not to mention dozens of replies
from people on this list who, unlike me, actually know what they're doing
8-) I did manage to get arm-elf to build on cygwin.

The key for me seemed to be --with-newlib. Following are the notes from my
log.

This, of course, produces a compiler good for making native, i.e. no os,
executables on the arm. I'm still working on getting a compiler suitable for
compiling linux and applications for execution under linux on arm from a
cygwin host. I'm also pursuing this on a linux host now (or at least i will
be once i manage to get back to it).

Good Luck! HTH...

if so, exactly what are the steps?  i've attempted to follow the steps using
the directions to build
for eCOS on the redhat pages, but to no avail.  

What, me worry?
