gcc tool chain, you need the following tools on your host computer: bash, gcc, \r
gmake, curl (or wget).\r
\r
+Only the MdePkg and EdkModulePkg are currently supported by gcc builds. Other\r
+builds, such as the EdkNt32Pkg, will not compile with gcc.\r

+A Word on compiling on Linux\r
+----------------------------\r
+\r
+In order to compile on Linux, you will need to have the e2fsprogs-dev package\r
+installed. Check your distribution for the rpm, deb or other package format.\r
+This package contains the uuid library and header that are used by some of the\r
+host tools.\r
+\r
+If you are running on x86_64 Linux, then you should install a 64 bit version of\r
+the Java JDK. The version that was used was jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-amd64-rpm.bin.\r
+It may be downloaded from sun.com.\r

+A Word on compiling under Cygwin with gcc\r
+-----------------------------------------\r
+\r
+Cygwin is a POSIX style operating environment for Windows. It is possible to\r
+compile the EDK 2 using gcc and cygwin. There are a few extra steps necessary\r
+to make this happen. There is a JNI (Java Native Interface) library in the\r
+Tools. In order to compile this under Cygwin, the 'linux' java headers must be\r
+installed to the $JAVA_HOME dir on the windows system. To accomplish this, you\r
+must install the JDK on a linux system, and then copy\r
+linux:$JAVA_HOME/include/linux/ to windows:$JAVA_HOME/include. These are really\r
+typedefs needed by gcc.\r
+\r
+Compiling under cygwin is slow, because the underlying file accesses are slow\r
+in cygwin. For this reason, we do not encourage the use of cygwin. A true unix\r
+system will be a superior choice for those wishing to compile with gcc.\r
+\r
+Make sure that you select the e2fsprogs development package when you install\r
+cygwin. It is necessary for the GenFvImage tool.\r
