David, the compiler isn't included by default; you need to expand the 'Devel' category and select gcc (and any optional languages you want) when you're running the cygwin setup. > BTW: Maybe your question is probably better posted on the gcc-help list. To elaborate, questions about getting your cygwin installation up-and-running would be most welcome on the main cygwin list (see http://cygwin.com/lists.html); more general questions to do with programming and the compiler itself will get the best responses from the gcc-help list. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
