In this build, you cannot use a Cygwin or MSYS shell. Rather the build must
be performed in a Windows console window. Here is a better terminal than the
standard issue, CMD.exe terminal: ConEmu which can be downloaded from:

instead if you know what you are doing and want a faster download (No, I
can't tell you which packages you should or should not download).
Host Compiler: I use the MingGW GCC compiler which can be downloaded from

This capability should still be considered a work in progress because:
(1) It has not been verified on all targets and tools, and
(2) it still lacks some of the creature-comforts of the more mature environments.

There is an alternative to the setenv.sh script available for the Windows

Description: The way that apps/ no generates Kmenu files depends on changes added
to apps/tools/mkkconfig.sh. Similar changes need to be made to
apps/tools/mkkconfig.bat to restore the Windows Native build.
UPDATE: The mkkconfig.bat script has been updated and appears to work.
A native build has still not been attempted and there could likely be
issues the carriage returns in Kconfig files. There are also some
issues the interpreters/ficl and bas directories during 'make menuconfig'
that still need to be investigated.
Status: Open
Priority: Low, since I am not aware of anyone using the Windows Native build.
But, of course, very high if you want to use it.
