the Java JDK. The version that was used was jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-amd64-rpm.bin.

A Word on compiling under Cygwin with gcc
-----------------------------------------
Cygwin is a POSIX style operating environment for Windows. It is possible to
compile the EDK 2 using gcc and cygwin. There are a few extra steps necessary
to make this happen. There is a JNI (Java Native Interface) library in the
Tools. In order to compile this under Cygwin, the 'linux' java headers must be
installed to the $JAVA_HOME dir on the windows system. To accomplish this, you
must install the JDK on a linux system, and then copy
linux:$JAVA_HOME/include/linux/ to windows:$JAVA_HOME/include. These are really
typedefs needed by gcc.
Compiling under cygwin is slow, because the underlying file accesses are slow
in cygwin. For this reason, we do not encourage the use of cygwin. A true unix
system will be a superior choice for those wishing to compile with gcc.
Make sure that you select the e2fsprogs development package when you install
cygwin. It is necessary for the GenFvImage tool.
