Newbie question - where do I get g++ from?

Newbie question - where do I get g++ from?

[Robert Schwartz]

Hi,

This is my first time using cygwin. I wasn't sure
(from reading http://www.cygwin.com) if installing
cygwin also installs g++ or not.

If not, then where should I download g++ from?

Are cygwin and g++ released together, or separately?

Sorry for the simple question, and thanks in advance
for your help!

Robert

Only if you select "gcc" from the list of packages in setup.  You probably
want "binutils", "make", and maybe others from the "Devel" catagory, too.

See http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC13

Kind regards,

gcc is g++ when compiling C++ files.  Setup will download it if you request 
it in the development category.
