As per the document (Firmware Source User Guide in C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\EZ-USB FX3 SDK\1.3\doc\firmware\FX3FirmwareSourceUserGuide), Cypress uses a GNU make based command line build mechanism to compile the sources into library form. You will need to have GNU make version 3.8 or later, as well as standard GNU utilities such as the BASH shell, sed, grep, cut etc. to use these build scripts. You can get these utilities on Windows by installing the Cygwin DLL along with the BASH shell, GNU coreutils and GNU make.
