U-Boot Compiling in CYGWIN environment

Ok,

I know this has been asked 100 times; but, I haven't found a patch or what to do to properly fix the issue.

History:
(1) I'm cross-compiling for the ARM architecture.
(2) I'm developing on a Windows system (don't laugh); but, I can't easily change or add VMware to the picture.
(3) It only complains when compiling mkimage under tools... (see log below for the errors)

I fixed the problem once with a kludge by defining the missing defines and typedefs for ulong and another type that escapes me; but, it was definitely a kludge.

Anyone have a good patch for the latest git head on this. I can help if needed.

Thanks
James K.

Dear James Kosin,

Maybe you can use one of the many other existing solutions - CoLinux, VirtualBox, etc. etc.

Best regards,
