Cygwin is: - a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. - a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality. Ability to compile programs is almost a byproduct of ability to compile itself. >>> Adding make was no problem but it took me a while to find a package >>> that contains dir.h. > >> I think we need a "build-essential" metapackage. > Exactly!

If you want to compile native Windows programs, Cygwin is likely not the tool you need. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, August 29, 2018 17:57:40 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
