Liam,

What exactly are your errors using cygwin?  Post them here.  I might take a
couple of posts back and forth but I do believe it is possible.  I have it
running on Windows 98 and I know other have been successful with Windows.
What windows OS are you using?  As for Linux I am sorry but can't help you
there yet as I don't have Linux.  But I have seen some people taking about
success with USB (atleast at first glance).

I, too, have been at it for three weeks. gcc and bintools build OK under cygwin, but when it gets to the cross-compiler, the whole make process craps out. The compile fails because some of the cross-compiler sources are (complaining about) missing (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
