Building coreboot BIOS on a Windows computer

[Scott]

Hello coreboot folks,

I know the developers here use linux, but many other bios developers
are more comfortable with windows. Fortunately, it is easy to build
coreboot using a Windows machine. The example below demonstrates using
the current coreboot version, 5740.

Thanks,

Thanks for the write-up.

I can only propose to use Console2, with gives a little more space than
80x25. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/

There are some other tweaks I have, but I don't have a list of them
around - eventually I'll build a coreboot SDK which packages msys, cross
compiler toolchain and other bits in a single neat installer, but I
guess that will take a while.

Scott,

Great write-up. Would you care to add it to the coreboot wiki?
Personally, I use Cygwin to do builds on windows machines. I have
found the mingw/msys install to be a real PITA with downloading all
the stuff separately as they have it on sourceforge now.
