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

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
