[U-Boot] how do you build u-boot under Windows XP SP2

[cmfairfa at rockwellcollins.com]

I've tried building u-boot 1.3.3 under cygwin and the make fails.
Can anyone help?

I need to build under Windows.

Thanks.

Before all the negative emails fly in regarding how foolish
you are to develop under windows ... :)

Have you tried CoLinux?

http://www.colinux.org/

Its a port of Linux that runs as a windows process.

I haven't tried it for U-Boot development, but it should
work just fine.

Cheers,
Dave

See for example http://www.denx.de/en/News/#NewsELDKcoLinux
OK, that's with an old version of the ELDK (release 4.1) on it, but
it shows how to set up things.

Best regards,

Niklaus Wirth has lamented that, whereas Europeans pronounce his name
correctly (Ni-klows Virt), Americans invariably mangle it into (Nick-
les Worth). Which is to say that Europeans  call  him  by  name,  but
Americans call him by value.
