I don’t personally have any experience using Cygwin, but I have used the Windows Subsystem for Linux successfully with EDK2 (I actually use it somewhat regularly. It has great integration with VSCode, which doesn’t require Visual Studio at all.)

Hello,

Yes my Python is 3.7.

I am trying to use cygwin to access the GNU tools since I do not have VS. We are a small company.
I cannot get the edksetup.bat to execute correctly. It is a problem setting up all the environment.
Is there an easier way? Am I on the right path?

Have you installed the up-to-date Python requirements? “pip install –upgrade -r pip-requirements.txt”?

That’s the first thing I would check. Otherwise, happy to look at the problem with you.
