I can see Linaro is Linux oriented, but most of my colleagues are much more familiar with Windows and Source Insight, rather than Linux and vim/emacs. We may be happier and more effective if we can build aarch64 UEFI on Windows directly.
So how can we do that? Is there any detailed guideline?
I have no experience of this myself, but as an observer I would like to point out that the solution I would instinctively have tried (cygwin/mingw + Linaro toolchains for Windows) comes with non-obvious drawbacks. The attempts to translate various filesystem properties sometimes causes breakages.
If you have access to Windows 10, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux seems like it would be much less likely to break things.
But if people otherwise use Windows-type workflows, it sounds more useful if a solution like the one proposed by blibbet can be made to work.
