<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many people come along asking - where can I get a
free c++ compiler for windows (or specifically GCC compiler for windows) so
natuarlly I refer them to sources.redhat.com/cygwin, and then spend the next
hour telling them they need to select GCC, Binutils, win32api, mingw32 in
addtion to the things selected... should be able to download setup, go next,
next next next next, double click cygwin... run gcc, make and have it be able to
build both windows apps (-mno-cygwin) and cygwin unix-emulation apps.
supporting as much as is needed for your baseic ./confugre, make is not really
neccesary - mostly it's students who use GCC at their school, and would like to
work on homework.</FONT></DIV>
