We use the same linux VM on all our developer work stations under a
windows host at the moment. Also for building eCos. No Problems so far.
In the past we also maintained a cygwin-free mingw-based gcc/make
Buildenvironment. But only building ecos applications, not eCos itself.
If you have problems with the moving cygwin target you can also setup
local cygwin repositories with a fixed version where all developers get
their cygwin from.
Best solution for us was the linux VM. Least trouble.
best regards,
Guenter

Hi again
I have found now an interesting link: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ct2.html
Is that, what I'm searching for? I have read the description and it looks
like that this version of the Configuration Tool is running without cygwin?
But the page itself is marked as "obsolete". So maybe this work was not
continued?
How knows more about this?
Richard

Hi All,
Do anybody knows a way to work without cygwin natively on Windows?
It seems, that cygwin is causing several problems on different windows
environments.
Is there a way to work without cygwin?
Is the gnu compiler/linker toolchain available for windows? Which versions
are comparable to the arm-eabi-gcc V4.3.2 ?
Is it possible to run the eCos Config Tool without cygwin?
Thanks
Richard

You can build yor own using MinGW. I am building such toolchains
regularly and the recent (4.4, 4.5) GNU ones are quite
friendly in this regard, although not completely without
problems. At our company these are used to build and link
applications against includes/libtarget built in a traditional
way - unfortunately there are people that are not comfortable
with configuring and running Linux and sending a setup
is easier than sending a virtual machine.
A major PITA is the slowness of Windows file status functions,
slowing make to a grind - the gcc/g++/libstdc++ build for
a mix of multilibs took several _days_.
I don't think it is possible to use a non-cygwin environment
to work with eCos itself - the time spent to make all the
makefiles etc. compatible would be IMHO enormous. Cygwin
is a mess, but finding workarounds will be less effort.
