As stated in development/docs/howto_build_SDK.txt, one can't build the whole
Android source code under Windows. You can only build a the SDK tools for
Android source code under Windows. You can only build the SDK tools for
Windows.
There are a number of caveats in checking out the code from Git under Windows.
This document tries to explain them.
First you will need to meet the following requirements:
- You must have Cygwin installed.
See http://www.cygwin.com/
- You must have Cygwin installed. But wait! You CANNOT use the latest Cygwin 1.7.
Instead you MUST use the "legacy Cygwin 1.5" that you can find at this page:
http://cygwin.org/win-9x.html
Don't mind the page title, just grab setup-legacy.exe and it will works just fine
under XP or Vista.
- You must install Cyginw using the "Unix / Binary" mode.
If you don't do that, git will fail to properly compute some SHA1 keys.

Note: if you want to build the SDK, check the howto_build_SDK.txt file
for a list of extra required packages.
The short summary is that you need at least these:
autoconf, bison, curl, flex, gcc, g++, git, gnupg, make, mingw-zlib, python, unzip, zip
and you must avoid the "readline" package.

B- Cygwin pre-requisite & code checkout
---------------------------------------
Second you need to install Cygwin and configure it:
- Get the installer at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
You must have Cygwin installed. But wait! You CANNOT use the latest Cygwin 1.7.
Instead you MUST use the "legacy Cygwin 1.5" that you can find at this page:

Don't mind the page title, just grab setup-legacy.exe and it will works just fine

Now configure it:
- When installing Cygwin, set Default Text File Type to Unix/binary, not DOS/text.
This is really important, otherwise you will get errors when trying to
checkout code using git.
