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