MSYS works without problems and is faster by 20 to 40 per cent for compilation and configure, respectively -- so that would ideally be my platform of choice. Unfortunately, I couldn't get bitbake (which requires python with fcntl) to run under MSYS. I see that cygpath conversion is already implemented for cygwin (for MSVC?), but I don't see how to enable it (perhaps this is an autoconf issue). So, I'd appreciate help with cygpath on cgywin (or bitbake on MSYS). With kind regards, Baurzhan.
