Hi

I am new to cygwin and just installed it but I couldn't find gcc as part of
the
distribution. Am I missing something ? I am also not having luck with common
programs like file & more. Do I have to download those separately ? For now
I need the gcc more than anything.

The other question is if I were to compile a C program and have it
statically
linked, does it mean I can still run the binary even after blowing the
cygwin
environment away ?

Thanks in advance
MCW
