Setting up a windows machine for compiling the firmware

Step by step instructions to setup software to compile the Kreyos Meteor firmware.

Prerequisites

Skip this if you have already a running Java JRE on your machine. Install the appropriate Java JRE version. I'm using the 64-Bit on my Windows7-64.

Follow the link MinGW Installer and choose mingw-get-setup.exe.

Start the installer and choose the following:

I installed everything under C:\Projekte\Kreyos so MinGW goes to C:\Projekte\Kreyos\MinGW Press continue until the installation finishes.

After the MinGW Installation Manager starts select "All Packages"

Mark "MSYS->msys-bash (bin)" and "MSYS->msys-make (bin)" for installation. This will trigger some other packages for installation which is ok.

Select "Installation->Apply Changes" and "Apply".

Download Eclipse CDT and extract it. I'm using C:\Projekte\Kreyos\Eclipse as destination folder.
