GNU Compiler for NIOS 2

Hi, I am using Altera's GNU Compiler but that requires CYGWIN. I am just looking out is there is any GNU compiler that can be invoked directly from windows command promt? Thanks

In the meantime I work on a Linux machine aswell as on a Windows machine.

Compiling the kernel for use with initramfs only works on Linux.

Also the Windows port does not support the compressed kernel image zImage which is very convenient to save download time.

I have a samba share to exchange data between Linux and Windows.

From a batch file it is possible to run shell scripts by doing this:

bash -c "your shellscriptname"

This feature comes from Cygwin which I have installed also.
