Dear all

I need to make U-Boot on Windows, is that possible? and if yes how can

I do

that?

Building U-Boot on Windows is done every day. You install the cygwin tools, get yourself a cross-compiler, and you may have to tweak a few Makefiles for .exe executable suffixes (for the tools which are built).

The uclibc people have reasonable build scripts for cross-compilers. You can get an ARM cross-compiler from a few places. I built the MIPSEL cross-compiler we use from the uclibc scripts.

There's extra info building just the tool-chain:

http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html#toolchain_standalone

Since u-boot doesn't use libc, you can also not use uclibc... which is to say that a uclibc based toolchain isn't a problem for building u-boot.
