Additional Notes
Common problem in the installation
A user reported that the installation of AVRStudio included a version of Cygwin. In some situations, the compilation of ERIKA3 projects from Eclipse do not work because the make command used by Eclipse is not the Cygwin one but the AVR one. The typical evidence for this is that the error message of the build included some "windows pathname" C:\... (which is wrong), instead of a "cygwin pathname" /cygdrive/c/... (which is correct).
In that case, please check the Project properties (by right-clicking on the project name, and check whether the Cygwin base location is correct, as in the picture below:
In case it is not correct, one way of solving the issue is to override the cygwin environment variable in the workspace properties, by going on Windows / Preferences, and adding an override for the CYGWIN_HOME directory as shown in the picture below:
