[ECOS] Building the Host tools on Windows

[Srdjan Sobajic <srdjans@digitalpersona.com>]

Hi, 

I'm trying to build the host tools on Windows in Visual Studio 6.

I think that I've finally managed to set everything up correctly so that the
build process starts, 
(This included adding C:\cygwin\bin to VCs "Executable" directory list), but
I am getting a lot
of syntax errors.

It seems that the build is using the cygwin headers for "Types.h" and some
other system headers and,
on the other hand, relying on VCs internal headers for STL. I haven't really
found much documentation
other than "Open the project in VS and build." for the tools, so I was
wondering if anyone could shed
some light on this. (I grabbed the sources from CVS the yesterday(?).)


Thanks for your help!

Srdjan
