On 30 Nov 98, Fred Marshall had questions about gcc installation

I don't understand; AFAIK, djgpp and cygwin are completely
different setups (djgpp is a 32bit DOS port of gcc, while cygwin is
a unix-like dll and all the associated gnu tools, gcc, etc.
If you have the cygwin b19, you just need the coolview .dll and the
egcs update (the latter has gcc, g++, and g77 support). There are
a few library bugs/features in the cygwin stuff that don't quite
conform to either the C standard or the normal GNU extensions.
Unless you need the cygwin .dll (ie, for unix compatibility), you'd
be better off using the mingw32 stuff; at least the stdlib stuff
works right. Check out the following stuff (the gcc 2.8.1 works
for me):

Hope this helps, Steve
