INSTALLATION
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Installing Cygwin
NuttX may be installed and built on a Linux system or on a Windows
system if Cygwin is installed. Installing Cygwin on your Windows PC
is simple, but time consuming. See http://www.cygwin.com/ for
installation instructions. Basically you just need to download a
tiny setup.exe program and it does the real, internet installation
for you.
Some Cygwin installation tips:
1. Install at C:\cygwin
2. Install EVERYTHING: "Only the minimal base packages from the
Cygwin distribution are installed by default. Clicking on categories
and packages in the setup.exe package installation screen will
provide you with the ability to control what is installed or updated.
Clicking on the "Default" field next to the "All" category will
provide you with the opportunity to install every Cygwin package.
Be advised that this will download and install hundreds of megabytes
to your computer."
If you use the "default" installation, you will be missing many
of the Cygwin utilities that you will need to build NuttX. The
build will fail in numerous places because of missing packages.
After installing Cygwin, you will get lots of links for installed
tools and shells. I use the RXVT native shell. It is fast and reliable
and does not require you to run the Cygwin X server (which is neither
fast nor reliable). The rest of these instructions assume that you
are at a bash command line prompt in either Linux or in Cygwin shell.

I work around spaces in the home directory name, by creating a
new directory that does not contain any spaces, such as /home/nuttx.
