Cygwin GCC BUILD NOTES
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Cygwin normally creates a /home directory with your Windows user name. Unfortunately,
+ that could very likely include spaces. In that case, the Cygwin build will have
+ lots of problems. Here is how I worked around that:
+
+ - I created a /home/buildroot directory and copied buildroot to that location
+ (/home/build/buildroot/buildroot)
+ - I have the archives directory at /home/buildroot/archives
+ - And a symbolic link to the nuttx build directory at /home/buildroot/nuttx
+
+ With those workarounds, the buildroot will build. However, you will also need
+ to either edit the setenv.sh file to reference this new location, or else move
+ resulting build diectory.
+
On Cygwin, the buildroot 'make' command will fail with an error like:
