BUILDING A GPC COMPILER FOR CYGWIN

Cygwin has a fully functional self-hosting toolchain. The Cygwin environment implements a functional POSIX layer under Windows. Building GPC for Cygwin should (if you have the full Cygwin environment and toolchain) be as straightforward as building it under Linux.

However, in order to get a full GPC runtime library, you also need to download os-hacks.h and copy it to your Cygwin installation's "include" directory (typically /usr/include/) before attempting to "configure" and "build" GPC.
