PATH and CROSS_COMPILE env vars set appropriately. Cygwin base package installed, plus 'make' and 'gcc'. I've tried three different tool chains: CodeSourcery Lite, GNUARM, and YAGARTO, each giving me different errors. I have also tried several flavors of make, those too influence the build. I'm not sure which is giving me the best performance. > > You've entered a particularly annoying level of hell. If you really want to get moving quickly, you'd be much better off installing Linux in a VM and bypass this whole Cygwin mess. I use Ubuntu in Vbox OSE every day and it's fantastic. U-boot is a fast build, so you don't need to worry about performance. regards, Ben
