Hi Ignacio, To cross-compile for a known machine type, Cliff's suggestion of using a Linux virtual machine is an easy option if you don't have a physical Linux machine.
If you want to build hosting on Cygwin, some packages won't natively compile unless you apply their Cygwin-specific patches. Alternatively, you can pre-install; for quilt-native, you can install quilt via Cygwin setup.exe, then update ASSUME_PROVIDED in OE's local.conf To build hosting & targeting for Cygwin, you may want to use another tool - Shell / Cygwin g-b-s, Make, or SCons - with better support for Cygwin, or even teach them to understand OE metadata and bitbake files. -- Lloyd On 5/20/08, Esben Haabendal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > You might want to take a look at the patches included in bug #3402 > which I submitted some time ago.
