Building on Windows

This page provides details regarding building the SDK under Windows. It is intended to complement the Building the SDK page. This page currently only deals with Cygwin, though instructions will be added later as to how to deal with MinGW based systems.

Cygwin

Prerequisites

When using Cygwin, the build prerequisites can either be installed with Cygwin installer, or after installing via a tool such as apt-cyg.

Under Cygwin, these prerequisites are called gcc libiconv libmpc-devel libmpfr-devel libgmp-devel libncurses-devel git make flex bison. All other prerequisites are dependencies on these packages and are therefore automatically installed.

Building the SDK

Once the prerequisites have been installed, the SDK can be compiled and installed in the same way as Linux as described in Downloading the SDK and Building the SDK.

If you have not been able to build the SDK, check/post on the Parallella SDK Forums to see if someone else has been successful. Alternatively, feel free to submit a bug report or patch.
