Cygwin Install Procps

These setup instructions describe how to setup Cygwin on so that waf (the build system) can run natively on windows and build for all supported boards.

When installing packages for the first time, the setup program does not install every package. Only the minimal base packages from the Cygwin distribution are installed by default, which takes up about 100 MB. Clicking on categories and packages in the setup program package installation screen allows you to select what is installed or updated.

Note

There is a pre-built script at /ardupilot/Tools/environment_install/install-prereqs-windows.ps1 that will automatically perform all of the below steps.
