'gcc' is the compiler. Run 'setup.exe' and install the "gcc-g++" or more simply just install the entire "Devel" category. > What is mingw and how do you install? mingw is the Windows-targeted version of the compiler tools. It doesn't use Cygwin. You can install the Cygwin-provided pseudo cross-compiler by installing the "gcc-mingw-g++" package or the entrie "Devel" category. > What is cygwin1.dll and how to you get it? See for a definition. Again, install with 'setup.exe'. > What is the difference between make and gmake? The name. > As far I can tell, I have ggc[sic], make, cygwin1.dll on my cygwin installation.
