Dear all,

Somebody helping me on my research work has just
introduced me to your wonderful work.

I am currently using Win XP, I loaded the cygwin just
2 days ago and the version of the cygcheck is 1.74 and
it was compiled on July 2 2005.

My problem now is that the gcc command in not found
and also startx, how do I get this gcc installed
because I purposely  want to use it to compile a c
programs.

Please help and thank you for your good work.

Best wishes,

Olorunfemi, Temitope

BTW, I forgot to mention that this is not how you find out the version of
Cygwin you have.  See <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> for instructions
on providing information about your Cygwin installation.

I believe <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.setup> is what
you're looking for.  It may be worth changing the first FAQ entry to
mention that installing extra packages happens using the same setup.exe...

If you are using setup, but having problems with installation, please
provide the exact steps you use to reproduce the problems, any error
messages you get, and other information requested in the Cygwin problem
reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.

Use 'Setup.exe' to install Cygwin's gmp package. When you see the list
of packages, change the 'Category' to 'Full' to list all the available
packages alphabetically.

That trend being "If you ask about installation, the answer tends to
be 'use setup'"?

Dear all,

Please can you enlighten me on why it is more
advantageous to use gcc rather that Microsoft
studio.net visual c ?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

1) gcc is free, Microsoft is not (even if you can obtain a copy without
paying money, it is still not free - you are not free to see its source code)

2) gcc understands cygwin, Microsoft does not

Dear Sir,

Thanks for yours.

But is there any advantage of using GCC over MS
products when it comes to the issue of security?

Best wishes,

If you find a security problem in GCC you may fix it yourself.

That's off-topic for this mailing list because it's not Cygwin
specific.  This is not a list about how to program in C, there are
plenty of those elsewhere.
