OK, I'm stumped. I am a non-C programmer wishing to learn C++, and I have
tried Cygwin. However, I have not compiled anything successfully, not even
hello world. I am certain that I have paths/variables/options improperly
set, but I have no clue as to which of them are wrong. I have read a LOT of
faqs, and they don't clarify anything in MY (alleged) mind. I get the
impression that a greaat deal of knowledge I do not possess is being
assumed. I would be overjoyed to learn that I have overlooked something
very simple-minded.
Is this a fool's errand? Should I be trying to do this as a tyro at all, or
should I get a different compiler whose install/configuration doesn't assume
I already know what I'm doing?
