Have you RTFM, STFW, RTFFAQ about C and C compiling?

| Well, if you can't install the Cygwin C compiler, then that has
| something to do with Cygwin. If you don't know C very well and need
| some pointers on writing a program, that really has nothing to do with
| Cygwin. If you are trying to run the Cygwin version of bash (the
| standard UNIX shell) and it hangs, then that's probably a Cygwin
| problem. If you can't figure out how to set up a command alias in
| bash, that's not a Cygwin question. These Cygwin questions are
| considered "on topic". The non-Cygwin questions are considered "off
| topic".

| Why do we make this distinction? For two reasons: 1) as mentioned, the
| email traffic is very high so, by keeping things "on topic" we can cut
| down on some list traffic and 2) there are usually much better places
| on the Internet where you can get definitive answers for your
| off-topic-for-cygwin question. It doesn't make sense to ask
| non-experts to teach you about C or bash.

Which one is better - C or C++?
I think you desperately need some knowledge on C and C compiling. Can
someone point Rudolf to an appropriate newsgroup or mailing list? I
neither know the answer nor the right place to ask.
Good luck,
Thorsten
