I added the folder path into the PATH variable in the windows 7 environment variables window. I noticed that some packages came in some sort of 'zip' file with tar.gz extension. I browsed the installation folder and i saw some packages i selected were installed. The installation took up a long time so i stopped after about 45 minutes or so. Then i proceed on to install the selected packages I selected those packages that has contains the following names
I want to install the Cygwin C and C++ compilers so that i can create C and C++ projects using NetBeans 7.2 I am not very sure which exact package to install when the Cygwin setup.exe installer prompted for the selection of packages to download and install. I have tried to run Cygwin setup.exe that has the most recent version of the Cygwin DLL is 1.7.16-1. I have read the documentation on how to install the Cygwin C C++ compilers. I am very new to Cygwin, C, C++ and NetBeans IDE 7.2.
