18 The following are the recommended specifications for building on @value{OS.cygwin}; but is not necessarily the only configuration that is possible:
21 @item Intel 32-bit or 64-bit hardware (only 32-bit product binaries are supported)
22 @item @value{OS.cygwin}, gcc 4.2.4
23 @item yasm 0.7.2.2153 (for i386 or x86_64 architectures)
26 @include building/prerequisites.bundled.texi
29 As of this writing, @value{OS.cygwin} has available to it several versions of gcc; only one of which may be found and used in the path as @code{gcc} and @code{g++}. Configure will thus find what is probably the older version of gcc in a typical @value{OS.cygwin} environment. If you desire to build with the newer gcc, it is found in the path as @command{gcc-4} and @command{g++-4} respectively and you must indicate to configure the desired versions. The following syntax should do the trick:
33 ../configure --gcc=gcc-4

43 @value{OS.cygwin} builds are performed from a @b{terminal}. There is no support for building from any IDEs.
