Re: How to build SID for eCos application in cygwin environment?

Thank you for your reply. On installing cygwin, I have made Tcl library installed. Bill Siegmund remind me that in SID FAQ site "http://sources.redhat.com/fom-serv/sid/cache/6.html";, the first sentence is "As sid is mostly written in C++, a good recent C++ compiler is needed. We recommend gcc 2.95.2, or Red Hat Linux 7's gcc 2.96. While we know of no native publically-released Cygwin compiler that can build sid, using the "Canadian Cross" method, one can cross-compile sid on a larger UNIX build machine for the Cygwin host."

This may means that we can't build sid in existing cygwin environment. So I have to switch to Linux now. Thanks!

Maybe, maybe not. The fact it mentions 2.96 shows its age to me. Cygwin has come a long way since then (not least, now using gcc 3.x).
