graphics programming - beginner

[H Le]

Hi,

The previous message I asked was "the path to graphics.h library" but it seems to get more confusion.
After searching for awhile, it seems that the graphics.h library is obsoleted.

I try to compile some simple graphics program but unsure what libraries to #include and what compile parameters are needed.  If someone shows me or has a link to someplace where it has some simple program, and step by step to compile it to run under cygwin, I appreciate it.

Thank you.

HLe

I think this is what you're looking for:
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/bgi/install.html

It's designed for use with MinGW, however, and not Cygwin. If you
don't need Cygwin's Linux API emulation layer for your program I
suggest you use MinGW itself, following the instructions on that
website.

You may be able to compile it from source to work on Cygwin. The
source code is here:
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/bgi/source/
The makefile will need some changes to work.

Regards,
Chris
