I guess over the years I've just ended up collecting small static
versions of 'unix tools' in my tools folder under unix....
cp, rm, mv, ls, mkdir.exe, echo.exe, touch, uname, make.exe,
and some less generally useful things, wget, ssh, cvs, mtn
but I think of the above cmake only needs make and other things are
handled with cmake -E commands
and then the compiler... and make (mingw32-make) comes with mingw
anyhow; so I'm pretty sure everything can build with MinGW (not MSYS),
cmake, and the android NDK on a clean system.
of course.
I found curious on this "android NDK" the usage of a cygwin build system
with a not cygwin compiler. I would expect of both or none, mixing
is really complicating the things.
Last time I cross compiled from windows to a Linux MIPS,
the cross compiler was a true cygwin application.
(and 30% faster than a cygwin environment)
Likely, cygwin is handicapped by the lack of a true system fork.
personally I can't stand how slow cygwin is; even things just built with
cygwin run 30-50% slower than any other compiler... and it's really not
worth it to have paths that don't really work.... and then redhat got
ahold of it and it just went downhill from there (yes that was a long
time ago)
MinGW doesn't even need environment changes, just need the bin in PATH...
cygwin also does not need environment changes. But this is more a
discussion for another mailing list.
