Re: installing cygwin (for C++)

Hi,
  I want to know what all pacakegs I need to install to be able to compile
and run C++ programs .Can you also please suggest mirrors which contain
these.Iam installing using setup.exe

Well, if you just need to compile Win32 apps, I suggest to try MinGW, or better yet, Bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE, much easier to setup (specially latter) than Cygwin, but using these tools doesn't enable some functionalty found in *nix systems.


Of course, if you need good POSIX/*nix thingies, or libraries commonly found under *nix systems, Cygwin is choice for you.
