Enthused by the successes of Dieter and Eisencah I have been trying to compile Osmocom under Windows XP using Cygwin and arm-elf-gcc4.6.3 dbsed on the website instructions.
 
Osmocom compiles ok until the last portion. Then it gives some errors (as in TXT file attached).
 
Can anyone please indicate what I am doing wrong. I am writing here after long experimenting to ensure that all dependencies have been included, etc.
 
Can I also request Dieter and Eisencah to share their tips for the rest of us who wish to work on the Windows platform. Thanks in advance.
 
B.

Hello everybody.
Managed to compile the osmocom program under windows.
Could anyone send me the image for the "Hello word" program so I could try to download it into the phone (haven't got to the part where I compile the firmware bit I would want to see osmocom work).
Cheers,
Mihai.

Hello Peter,

I don't know CodeSourcery, I use GNU ARM directly from www.gnuarm.com. 
According to the CodeSourcery FAQ, they do not require Cygwin. 

Are there any benefit using CodeSourcery ? I had issues in the past 
with the firmware using a different GNU ARM version, so I switched 
back to 4.0.2 which seems to be the same other use on Linux and 
so far it works OK. 

You don't seem to like Cygwin, my experience with it is not that bad, 
OpenBSC (not with GPRS yet due to the need for the TUN device), OsmocomBB, 
GNUradio and Airprobe run with minor adjustments (just to name GSM 
related stuff I use under Cygwin). 

Best regards, 
  Dieter
