You will need administrator rights on your PC to create a folder directly on your root of the hard drive. This will create a new directory named compile-cs on your C-drive and mount this folder as case-sensitive file system under /usr/compile. Start the configuration with the following code snipped. Reboot your PC after this step! reg ADD "HKLM\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Kernel" /v obcaseinsensitive /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /fĪctivating the case-sensitivity may break WSL! This configures the Windows file system to allow case-sensitive filenames. This results in an optimal CPU usage of 100% during compilation.Įxecute the follwing script with a bash prompt (Cygwin64 Terminal) as Administrator (Right-click the shortcut in the start menu.

This should build and install crosstools-ng from source and allows the build of recent gcc versions. A benefit of using crosstool-ng is the support for parallel compilation of the target toolchain. Open a bash prompt - named 'Cygwin64 Terminal' in the start menu - and execute the following steps. Setup-x86_64.exe -a x86_64 -d -q -P "tar,wget,gcc-core,gcc-g++,binutils,make,cmake,automake,autoconf,git,patch,unzip,flex,bison,gperf,help2man,libtool,gettext,libgmp10,libgmp-devel,libmpfr6,libmpfr-devel,libmpc3,libmpc-devel,libncurses-devel,libintl-devel" Install the following packages via the graphical installer or use the command line below. The crosstool-ng build will need some utilities to succeed. Installation of Cygwin and needed toolsĭownload the cygwin installer setup-x86_64.exe from.The complete procedure takes about 3 hours on an Intel I7-4720H 2.60GHz CPU with 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM and a Samsung 850 EVO mSata SSD. The speed of this process depends on your internet connection and your hardware.

This will be a complete walktrough of the process to create a cross-compile toolchain for cygwin with linux 32 bit (i686) or 64 bit (x86_64) as target. Or you can follow this tutorial to build a GCC Cross-Compiler in Cygwin if you don't want to or can't switch to WSL.Just search for "Ubuntu" or the name of your favourite Linux distribution in the Microsoft Store and click on install. Then you could either switch to use Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10, which provides a more modern alternative provided by Microsoft.You already use Cygwin on Windows and have Windows 7 / 8 or Windows 10 and do not want to use a slow Virtual Machine? You want to have a GCC toolchain to compile C/C++ programs for Linux, while you work on your Windows machine?
