#Planck Advanced (but not too advanced) Cygwin Users Guide
If you are a user of the [Cygwin environment](https://cygwin.com) in Windows and want the freedom to use the latest tools available, then this is the guide for you. If compiling your own copy of the latest and greatest Gnu C compiler makes you super happy, then this is the guide for you. If the command line make you smile, then this is the guide for you.

This guide was written step by step as I went through the process on a Windows10 x86_64 based system. This should be generally applicable to to any Windows Environment with Cygwin.

###get the required packages
Download the Cygwin Installer ([x86_64](https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe) or [x86_32](https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe)) and install the default system plus the following if they are not already selected:
-devel/gcc-core
-devel/gcc-g++
-devel/flex
-devel/git
-libs/libglib2.0_0
-libs/libgcc1

##OPTIONAL Part
You can build and install a brand new gcc or you can use the one supplied by cygwin. This will take about 4-5 hours to compile (It is a "native build", so it does the entire build **3 times**. This takes a long while). I would skip it.

For building the avr-libc, we have to specify the host build system. in my case it is `x86_64-unknown-cygwin`. You can look for build system type in the gcc configure notes for the proper `--build` specification to pass when you configure avr-libc

##Install dfu-programmer
To install the dfu-programmer, we must get if from [their website](https://dfu-programmer.github.io/) (no fancy command line tricks here, but [this](http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer/0.7.2/dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip) might work).
Copy this file into your cygwin home directory. (For me, it is `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin`), extract the files, move `dfu-programmer.exe` to `~/local/avr/bin`. Most obnoxiously, the `libusb0_x86.dll` and `libusb0.sys` need to be moved from `dfu/dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2/x86/` to a directory in the Windows PATH and the Cygwin PATH. I achieved this by moving the files in Windows Explorer to `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin` Then, in a WINDOWS command prompt running:

If you are not getting the above result, you will not be able to flash the firmware!
-Try making sure your PATH variables are set correctly for both windows and cygwin.
-Do not try to extract it with cygwin's `unzip` as it does not set the executable permissions correctly.
