-You may run these scripts to build a Tiano Cross compiler. They have been
-tested on Cygwin, OS X and Linux. You must modify these scripts to make them
-work on your system. You may need to install additional tools on your system to
-make the scripts work.
-
-You will need
-
-  A recent version (3.0 or later should be fine) of gcc that is able to produce
-    executables for the machine that you want to run this compiler on (the host
-    machine).
-  wget or curl
-  tar
-  bzip
-  gzip
-  bash

-CYGWIN Notes
-
-You should setup cygwin to use binmode on all mounts. When you initially
-install cygwin it gives you the choice of Unix file mode (recommended) or DOS
-file mode. Unix mode will cause all the cygwin directories to be mounted in
-binmode, while DOS will mount the dirs in textmode. Here is an example of a
-cygwin install where the dirs are (properly) mounted in binmode.
-
-C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
-C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
-c:\workspace on /workspace type system (binmode)
-C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
-
-If you use textmode, it is likely that the build will fail in a way that is
-hard to debug.
-
-Cygwin is pretty slow, so it is not recommended for large builds.
