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

They are both just binary distributions of GCC for ARM. I doubt there
are major differences. Maybe CS do more complete testing before they
package up their versions, but there's no guarantee.
GNUARM is clearly more focused on GNU environments, so I think it
just makes sense that it is Cygwin affine.

Ah, no, I don't have anything against Cygwin, and I think it's really
great in many ways, but it *is* something different than Windows.
CS G++ Lite has the advantage of being plain native Windows programs.
Cygwin people are always very careful to mention that Cygwin is not
Windows, and I think their point is sound. Cygwin is an extra layer.
In practise it can be negligeable, just another DLL, but it isn't
Windowsy, and for someone who wants Windowsy, Cygwin isn't a really
good answer. (But it can save plenty of time instead!)
OpenBSC (not with GPRS yet due to the need for the TUN
device),
OpenVPN has one, it's signed too.
OsmocomBB, GNUradio and Airprobe run with minor
adjustments (just
to name GSM related stuff I use under Cygwin).
Cool, that's proof that Cygwin is pretty good stuff. It doesn't say
almost anything about how these projects run on Windows though.
That isn't neccessarily a bad thing at all, evolving the project
internally or the featureset or whatever can be much more important
than adapting the project to work "on" more operating systems.

Here's another one. Regarding the select mechanism (the one in select.c). Other then
the serial port and sockets is anything else registered there?
Cause I would like to keep sockets for communication after all (but the select function
will not work on windows for serial ports handles). So I would use a different mechanism
only for serial port scheduling.
Cheers,
Mihai.

I'd suggest abstracting the io and using overlapped on Windows.
