What is the whole thing ? The phone firmware has to be compiled by an ARM compiler, and if you use GNU ARM, you need Cygwin anyway.

Does e.g. the CodeSourcery toolchain really need Cygwin? That would suck.

I was planning on using the winarm package to compile the firmware. What other specific OS suport  is used on the host code? (I've seen serial port and timers) Thanks, Mihai.

PS. The thing is I've done windows programming up until now, but maybe I should adapt instead of trying to the sw :)

If you want to use a different compiler for the host software, you most certainly have to adjust quite a lot of the source code, expecially when using the Microsoft C compiler.

And why use pipes instead of sockets, Windows has sockets.
