!!! Ah come on . . . Six months ago I took a 60 minute run at it that installation didn't work when completed. Now I've spent an hour and a half on it and I'm getting close, but still no joy. Five minutes . . . maybe IF you know exactly which tools you need, IF you know what CYGWIN is and have installed it 10 times before, IF you know that the CYGWIN installer is also use to install the PRC-TOOLS too and understand why and how. IF you've seen it all before, installed it all before and know EXACTLY what you need . . . I still think you'd be hard pressed to do it in five minutes, but heck "maybe". However, for a new user who hasn't seen all that before . . . pardon my french, but five minutes is a load of crap. The "Out of the Box" experience for PRC-TOOLS sucks. The good news is there is no box and it is free. Don't get me wrong . . . I very much respect and like GCC . . . I've used their tools longer than half of the folks on this list have been alive. It is a great product supported by great people. But "five minutes", GIVE ME A BREAK.
