Hi Dominic,

I hope you saw the post by Jim Lynch about WinARM. He has tried it and
seemed quite posative about it.

If he decides to use this as the basis for future tutorials then
OpenOCD whould be the only element requiring cygwin.

Cygwin is a bit of a nightmare to get things built with multiple
versions working at the same time on windows. I personally cannot get
Microcross XTools working with a more recent version of cygwin.

I would suggest the extra complexity of a native windows build will be
more than paid back by the ease at which OpenOCD can be made to work
on Windows, espcially if the WinARM people go ahead and include
OpenOCD and and Installer in a future version.

The other thing which you may not have realised is how hard it is to
get a cygwin version building.

On Linux I pretty much had all the software needed to build OpenOCD
already, as the need to build software is common. On a clean version
of Windows people are not used to building there own PC software and
it is much harder to get OpenOCD building there. As far as I can seen
there everybody would be making the same .exe file anyway.

I am about to work on another project which is based on www.libsdl.org
which could be used for cross platform TCP/IP access.

I would try and help but I know nothing about automake which I think
you use on your project ???

Let me know if I can help with OpenOCD.

All the best.
