version 1.5.21-1 , g++ installation

[abhinav -]

Hi,
  Based on my scans through internet I was expecting
g++ to be a part of the cygwin package (version
1.5.21-1). How ever g++ is an undefined command for
the version that got installed on my machine.
  I have 2 questions:
1. Is it normal to have g++ as a "command not found"
after a cygwin installation; AND
2. I downloaded gcc-g++-3.4.4-2.tar.tar . How do i
install g++ from this

Regards,
Abhinav

You must not have scanned very hard.

Yes, if you did not select it to be installed.  cygwin-1.5.21-1 is only
the runtime package that all other cygwin packages depend on, and g++ is
one of those other packages.  Rerun setup.exe to select and install it.

You don't (at least, you shouldn't need to, although it is technically
possible).  Let setup.exe do the work instead.
