[Buildroot] Cygwin PPC Build Possible ?

[Buildroot] Cygwin PPC Build Possible ?

[David H. Lynch J.r]

    I am trying to use buildroot to create a ppc-405-linux-uClibc
toolchain.

    Currently I am getting a weird failure building gmp-4.2.4-host
    the error is something like
        configure:1 can't find CollabNet/files
    Sorry I am in linux at the moment so I do nto have the exact error.
    Regardless it seems to be some kind of cygwin script handling issue.

    Has anyone succeeded in running buildroot under cygwin ?
    Any hints or suguestions ?
    I am using cygwin 1.5 and very recent buildroot from git.

    What about mingw32/msys rather than cygwin ?

    Or any other way to build a somewhat moder ppc-405 windows/linux 
uClibc cross compiler ?

grep -rlsi collab in gmp-4.2.4-host doesn't give anything, so maybe
you're remembering wrong?

We have some very basic cygwin support in BR, but I haven't heard
about anyone using it, certainly none of the developers so it could
very well be broken.
