NuttX may be installed and built on a Linux system or on a Windows
system if Cygwin is installed. Instructions for installation of

NuttX requires a POSIX development environment such as you would find uder
Linux or OSX. NuttX may be also be installed and built on Windows system
if you also provde such a POSIX develoment environment. Options for a
POSIX development environment under Windows include:
- An installation Linux on a virtual machine in Windows.
- The Cygwin environment. Instructions for installation of Cygwin on a
Windows system are provided in the following paragraph, "Installing
Cygwin".
- The MSYS environment. However, I have little experience that
configuration and it will not be discussed in this README file.

Accessing Windows Files

Drivers will be mounted under "/mnt" so for example "C:\Program Files"
File sysems will be mounted under "/mnt" so for example "C:\Program Files"
appears at "/mnt/c/Program Files". This is as opposed to Cgwin where
the same directory would appear at "/cygdrive/c/Program Files".
With these differences (perhaps a few other Windows quirks) the Ubuntu
install works just like Ubuntu running natively on your PC. Currently
there is not host configuration for Bash running under Windows 10 but
setting the host to either Linux or Cygwin should work fine.

Install Linux Software.

Use "sudo apt-get install <package name>"
Use "sudo apt-get install <package name>". As examples, this is how
you would get GIT:
$ sudo apt-get install git
This will get you an ARM compiler:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi
NOTE: That is just an example. I am not sure if apt-get will give you a
current or usable compiler. You should carefully select your toolchain
for the needs of your project.]
Integrating with Windows Tools
------------------------------
If you want to integrate with Windows native tools, then you will need
deal with the same kind of craziness as with integrating Cygwin with
native toolchains. If you set the host PC to Cygwin in this case, then
the NuttX build system should deal with that craziness for you.
