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 `Windows 10` `x86_64` based system. This should be generally applicable to to any `Windows` environment with `cygwin`.

##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 with Windows Explorer (you know, click and drag...) to `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin` Then, in a `WINDOWS` command prompt running:
### Build and Install the `dfu-programmer`
We can either build our own, or use the precomplied binaries. The precompiled binaries don't play well with `cygwin` so it is better to build them ourselves. The procedure for the precompiled binaries is included at the end of this guide.
The `dfu-programmer` requires `libusb`. So let's go ahead and build that first.
```
C:\> set PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin
$ cd ~/src
$ git clone https://github.com/libusb/libusb.git
$ cd libusb
$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
$ make
$ make install
```
Adjust your path (for username) as needed. Also, `libusb0_x86.dll` needs to be renamed to `libusb0.dll`. Why must this be so hard? You can tell that you were successful this way:
Next, we can build the `dfu-programmer`. This should be quick.
```
$ cd ~/src
$ git clone https://github.com/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer.git
$ cd dfu-programmer
$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
$ make
$ make install
```
Verify the installation with:
```
$ which dfu-programmer

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 extract it with `cygwin`'s `unzip` as it does not set the executable permissions correctly. If you did it anyway, do `chmod 755 dfu-programmer.exe`
####Install the USB drivers
These drivers are included in the `dfu-programmer` 0.7.2 (but you can get newer ones [here](http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/libusb-win32/libusb-win32-releases/1.2.6.0/libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0.zip)) and allow the `dfu-programmer` to program the firmware.

###Installing Precompiled `dfu-programmer` Binaries (Not recommended)
To install the `dfu-programmer` from the binaries, we must get if from [the `dfu-programmer` website](https://dfu-programmer.github.io/) ([0.7.2](http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer/0.7.2/dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip)).
Copy this file into your `cygwin` home\src directory. (For me, it is `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\src`), 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-prog-usb-1.2.2/x86/` to a directory in the `Windows` `PATH` and the `cygwin` `PATH`. I achieved this by moving the files with Windows Explorer (you know, click and drag...) to `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin` Then, in a `WINDOWS` command prompt running:
```
C:\> set PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin
```
Adjust your path (for username) as needed.
Then, rename `libusb0_x86.dll` to `libusb0.dll`.
You can tell that you were successful by trying to execute 'dfu-programmer' from the 'cygwin' prompt:
```
$ which dfu-programmer
/home/Kevin/local/avr/bin/dfu-programmer
$ dfu-programmer
dfu-programmer 0.7.2

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`.
- Make sure the `dll` is named correctly.
- Do not extract it with `cygwin`'s `unzip` as it does not set the executable permission. If you did it anyway, do `chmod +x dfu-programmer.exe`.
##Debugging Tools
These tools are for debugging your firmware, etc. before flashing. Theoretically, it can save your flash memory from wearing out. However, these tool do not work 100% for the Planck firmware.
### `gdb` for AVR
`gdb` has a simulator for AVR but it does not support all instructions (like WDT), so it immediately crashes when running the Planck firmware (because `lufa.c` disables the WDT in the first few lines of execution). But it can still be useful in debugging example code and test cases, if you know how to use it.
```
$ cd ~/src
$ git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
$ cd binutils-gdb
$ ./bootstrap
$ mkdir obj-avr
$ cd obj-avr
$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --build=x86_64-unknown-cygwin --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --disable-nls --enable-static
$ make
$ make install
```
### `simulavr`
`simulavr` is an AVR simulator. It runs the complied AVR elf's. `simulavr` does not support the `atmega32u4` device... it does `atmega32` but that is not good enough for the firmware (no PORTE and other things), so you cannot run the Planck firmware. I use it to simulate ideas I have for features in separate test projects.
This one is a major pain in the butt because it has a lot of dependencies and it is almost always buggy. I will do my best to explain it but... it was hard to figure out. A few things need to be changed in the 'Makefile' to make it work in `cygwin`.
```
$ cd ~/src
$ git clone https://github.com/Traumflug/simulavr.git
$ cd simulavr
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --enable-static --disable-tcl --disable-doxygen-doc
```
Edit `src/Makefile.am` now so that `-no-undefined` is included (I did this by removing the SYS_MINGW conditional surrounding `libsim_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined` and `libsimulavr_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined \ libsimulavr_la_LIBADD += $(TCL_LIB)`. Also, `$(EXEEXT)` is added after `kbdgentables` in two places.
