I have recently installed Cygwin. The instalation was perfect, exept that it didn't install gcc. I then ran setup.exe again and selected the package. the installation finished "succesefully" even though i still haven't got access to gcc. After searching my system, i found the following .tar 'gcc-2.95.3-5.tar.bz2'. How do i install (make) this archive, considering that tar won't unzip this fill? I know that these are very newbie questions, but i found no help in the faqs.
