Hi Eric,

 I'm sorry, I'm a bit ignorant about AVR development on Windows. I'm most 
comfortable in a Linux environment but because my customer is a Windows  
house and needs to be able to build at their location I have a need to set 
them up with a build that requires just a single command to update from the 
repository (subversion), build the hex file and generate latest documentation 
(doxygen). Also, there are tools designed to run on the host and interact 
with the AVR target via the serial port that are built using gcc in the 
cygwin environment at the same time (the AVR and host side components have 
common header files).

I need to use other tools that cygwin provides but not included in WinAVR 
(e.g. subversion, doxygen,  ...) and invoke them from a single make. I was 
attracted to WinAVR because of your frequent efforts to keep it up to date 
and I didn't find anything pre-built for cygwin. I seem to have created a 
dilemma for myself.

btw: I'm not familiar with the MinGW/MSYS environment you mentioned. I checked 
in cygwin and found that the mingw runtime library is installed. Is that the 
same thing?

Steve
