AW: [Sdcc-user] Newest versions and Makefiles on win

[<MSo...@Mi...>]

Hello Jesus,

Thanks for the hint. I just didn' try. I am usually using SDCC with
cygwin and i am happy with this, but i saw that many people in the list
are not and are doing funny stuff like using cygwin executables from the
DOS prompt, rather than the cygwin shell. As i am frequently compiling
GCC with MSVC, i just thought i can help by doing the same with SDCC. If
it is easier with SDCC than with GCC (for GCC you will need cygwin
because the GCC makefiles need a unix compatible shell) i don't get why
all these people who are not familar with unix are using cygwin. I think
cygwin is nice for unix guys that have some work to do on windows, but
not for windows guys, that want to use SDCC.

Maybe just a note in the manual is then enough to get those SDCC users
away from cygwin, that don't know what they are doing with it.

Best regards,

Michael
