MinGW

[Alan Cudmore]

I can get my RKI project to build on windows ( from a command prompt , 
without a mingw or cygwin shell )
If you can build it in a command prompt, it should build in eclipse.
For my windows setup, I have the following lines in the makefile:
##
## Windows paths
RTEMS_TOOL_BASE=c:\opt\rtems\4.11
RTEMS_BSP_BASE=e:\Projects\rtems\bsps\rtems-4.11


Your project sounds neat, I would love to find out more about your 
avionics board. Let me know if you make any progress with the I2C on the 
Raspberry Pi, I was going to tackle that when I get some free time.
