For the record: mkfs.jffs2 takes as input a directory and an option device table file, and turns that directly into a file containing a jffs2 filesystem. So, OS support really isn't required. Getting mkfs.jffs2 to build & run under Cygwin is not all that difficult. I've done it before, and gotten permission from my employer to package it for Cygwin - what I lack at the moment is time :-/ Until then, if anyone is interested in helping push this through as a proper Cygwin package, I'd be happy to talk to them about it. -Samrobb -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
