Base cygwin installation is a POSIX userspace and essential Cygwin tools, it does not include any compilers at all, quite predictable. > I'm surprised the default installation doesn't include make or dir.h. Why it should? Why? Because from a Windows perspective it seems like the whole purpose of Cygwin is to be able to compile source code to run under Windows. It should include the tools to do that in the default setup. > Adding make was no problem but it took me a while to find a package > that contains dir.h. I think we need a "build-essential" metapackage. Exactly! I'm primarily a Windows programmer. I only compile Linux and Unix programs when I have no other choice and I certainly don't know all the ins and outs of those OSes. Anything that makes Cygwin easier for Windows programmers is welcome!
