Hello everydoby,
it's been ages since I have written on this board and now i am back online with nice news.

I was able to get a fully working cross-compiler on Windows (for i686-elf) which I am using to create my AspensSYS OS. I have published the toolchain online on my website and I hope it will be useful to the Windows Users.

Some features:

• Host: MinGW
• Target: i686-elf
• Binutils 2.19
• GCC 4.4.0 (With c and c++ enabled)
• NASM 2.07

Everything can be downloaded from http://gravity0.site90.com/download.php?view.5, installed by extracting the archive and by adding to the PATH:

• bin\
• bin\nasm
• (optional) i686-elf\bin

Hope it will be useful to everyone.

awesome, man!
thanks!

Nice work. Even though it's not that hard to build a cross-compiler, it can be a nuisance (errors popping up) and can take some time, especially on slower computers. I've got a cross-compiler for Windows on my project website too.

• Host (environment): Cygwin
• Target: i586-elf
• Binutils 2.19.1
• GCC 4.4.1 (C and C++ enabled).
• YASM 0.8.0

The components are slightly different, maybe it's of some use to anyone too. I know it's listed as 'Dynamix Build Environment', but nothing in there is actually dependant on my OS, it's just a regular toolchain like any other.

• Host (environment): Cygwin

Looks nice dude.... but I have always hated the Cygwin environment since it was too close to Linux and not suitable for everyday programmig on Windows (that's why I built my Cross Compiler with MinGW) but it is just my opinion.

Keep Up the good work!

I am also working on including a make utility but now I am giving priority to my OS. Stay tuned for news however.
