[avrdude-dev] Device names under cygwin

[Charles Steinkuehler]

I need to compile a version of avrdude to run under windows (see 
previous post about my problems with avr910 support), but I'm having 
trouble with device names.

When I compile avrdude, it only works with /dev devices (ie: /dev/com1).

The pre-compiled versions I downloaded from the savannah site, however, 
use 'normal' windows device names (ie: COM1).

How to I compile avrdude to use the 'normal' windows device names?  Do I 
need a particular version of cygwin, or perhaps some compile-time flags?

Thanks in advance,
