Upgrade your C++ reference material. The .h header have deprecated in 98. IIRC,
GCC became conformant with the 3.x version.
This is not a cygwin question, but a C++ question.

Anyway, check any C++ FAQ (like the C++lite -> §27.4 and 27.5) and update your
courses/tutorials.
Namespaces are what you have missed. BTW, main() is supposed to return an int.

HTH,
