Your autoexec.bat should have environment vars like these: SET PATH=%PATH%;D:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;D:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin SET GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=D:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\lib\gcc-lib\ SET TCL_LIBRARY=D:/gnuwin32/b18/tcl/lib/tcl7.6 SET GDBTK_LIBRARY=D:/gnuwin32/b18/share/gdbtcl SET LIBRARY_PATH=D:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\lib;D:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygw in32\i386-cygwin32\lib; (substituting appropriate drive letter) Yes, you should be able to compile C and C++ programs. As I understand it, gnu-win32 will make assumptions based on your filename extension, but you can also run g++ for c++ and gcc for c. Look through recent mailing list messages too for help with newbie questions (I've only recently installed gnu-win32). ---------- > From: Paul Love
