I think that maybe I've not do a good installation on my computer (I'm newbie to the unix too) well... I tell you how i do it to compile the program... i think it's strange... I load the 'bash.exe' file I write "gcc a.cc" I exit from 'bash' I run 'a.exe' żAny ideas? ... the faq I got don't explain the use of the compiler... r:-? thanx Jorge - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
