<p>
The primary environmental dependency of NuttX are (1) GNU make,
(2) bash scripting, and (3) Linux utilities (such as cat, sed, etc.).
If you have other platforms that support GNU make or make
utilities that are compatible with GNU make, then it is very
likely that NuttX would work in that environment as well (with some
porting effort). If GNU make is not supported, then some significant
modification of the Make system would be required.
<p>
<b>GNUWin32</b>.
For example, with suitable make system changes, it should be possible to
use native GNU tools (such as those from
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/">GNUWin32</a>)
to build NuttX.
However, that environment has not been used as of this writing.
</p>
<p><small>
NOTE: One of the members on the <a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nuttx/">NuttX forum</a>
reported that they successful built NuttX using such a GNUWin32-based, Windows native environment.
They reported that the only necessary change was to the use the NTFS mklink command to create links
(see <code>tools/winlink.sh</code> script).

The build for this ARM7 target that includes most of the OS features and
a broad range of OS tests. The size of this executable as given by the
Linux <tt>size</tt> command is (3/9/07):

This build for the ARM9 target includes a significant subset of OS

nuttx-6.4 2011-06-06 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
* lib/drivers/cc1101: Add initial, functional CC1101 wireless driver
(contributed by Uros Platise)
* arch/mips and configs/pcblogic-pic32mx: The MicroChip PIC32MX port is now
code complete and ready to begin testing. Unfortunately, it looks like
testing will be delayed due to tool issues (My PICkit 2 will not work the
the MPLAB debugger on PIC32; I will need to get a PICkit 3).
* drivers/net/e1000.c/h: A PCI-based E1000 ethernet driver submitted
by Yu Qiang.
* lib/net/lib_inetaddr.c: An implementation of the inet_addr() function
submitted by Yu Qiang.
* arch/arm/src/lpc31xx and arch/arm/include/lpc31xx: Renamed from lpc313x
to make name space for other famiy members.
* arch/arm/*/lpc31xx: Added support for the LPC315x family (untested).
* sched/task_exithook.c: Functionality performed when a task exits or is
deleted has been moved to a common file task_exithook.c. Now exit()
functionality (like flushing I/O and calling registered atexit()
functions, etc.) will be performed when a task is deleted as well.
* mm/: Added support for CONFIG_MM_SMALL. Each memory allocation has a
small allocation overhead. The size of that overhead is normally
determined by the "width" of the address support by the MCU. MCUs
that support 16-bit addressability have smaller overhead than devices
that support 32-bit addressability. However, there are many MCUs
that support 32-bit addressability *but* have internal SRAM of size
less than or equal to 64Kb. In this case, CONFIG_MM_SMALL can be
defined so that those MCUs will also benefit from the smaller, 16-
bit-based allocation overhead.
* lib/string/lib_strndup.c: Add standard strndup() library function.
* net/getsockname.c: Added standard getsockname() to return the local
address associated with a socket.
* lib/stdio/lib_asprintf.c: Add asprintf()
* configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/ftpc: Add a configuration to support
testing of the FTP client shell.
* fd/fs_fdopen.c and net/net_checksd.c: Add support so that fdopen may
be used with socket descriptors.
* net/recvfrom.c: Fix an error found in receiving small files via FTP:
The small file is received a buffered in the readahead buffer, then the
socket is disconnected. When the app calls recvfrom, the socket is
already disconnected and the buffered data is stranded. Now, recvfrom
will continue to return success after the socket is disconnected until
the readahead buffer is drained.
* olimex-lp1766stk/ftpc/defconfig: Many configurations have the MTU
(CONFIG_NET_BUFSIZE) set to very small numbers, less then the minimum
MTU size that must be supported -- 576. This can cause problems in
some networks: CONFIG_NET_BUFSIZE should be set to at least 576 in
all defconfig files. This has only been fixed in this defconfig file.
apps-6.4 2011-06-06 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
* nshlib/nsh_netcmds.c: If a network device name and IP address are provided
with the ifconfig command, then this command will now set the network address.
(Contributed by Yu Qiang).
* netutils/ftpc: A library to support client-side FTP.
* examples/ftpc: A simple add-on to the NSH. From NSH, you can start
this simple FTP shell to transfer files to/from a remote FTP server.
pascal-1.0 2011-05-15 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
* nuttx/: The Pascal add-on module now installs and builds under the
apps/interpreters directory. This means that the pascal-2.1 module is
incompatible with will all releases of NuttX prior to nuttx-6.0 where the
apps/ module was introduced.

buildroot-1.10 2011-05-06 <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
* Add patch submitted by Dimiter Georgiev to work around problems in building
GDB 6.8 with versions of Cygwin > 1.7.
* configs/i486-defconfig-4.3.3 - Builds an i486 cross development toolchain
using gcc 4.3.3. Why wouldyou want such a thing? On Linux, of course,
such a thing is not needed because you can use the installed GCC to build
i486 ELF binaries. But that will not work under Cygwin! The Cygwin
toolchain (and probably MinGW), build DOS MZ format executables (i.e.,
.exe files). That is probably not usable for most NuttX targets.
Instead, you should use this i486-elf-gcc to generate true ELF binaries
under Cygwin.
* Makefile - Alter copy arguments to avoid permissions problems when
copying NuttX header files.
* toolchain/nxflat/nxflat.mk and Makefile - Fix include paths.
* toolchain/gcc/3.3.6 - Added a patch to fixed compilation error on Ubuntu
9.10.
* toolchain/nxflat/Makefile - Correct static library link order.
* configs/arm920t-defconfig-4.3.3 - Enable support for NXFLAT tools.
* toolchain/binutils/2.21 and toolchain/gcc/4.5.2 - Add support for GCC
4.5.2 with binutils 2.21.
* configs/arm920t-eabi-defconfig-4.5.2 - Add a configuration to build a
GCC 4.5.2 EABI ARM toolchain for the ARM920t.
