| Well... There have been many problems with people having that, and it has been brought up several times. The problem is when you downloaded Cygwin... You are using cygwin aren't you? Well... If you are you didn't get all of it. Best idea is to get the whole thing unless you know exactly what you need and what you don't. Most likely you well want to check that you got the Dev section which has make and everything.

| | There are three(3) necessary packages that you need to compile with Cygwin in addition to the basic package. They are binutils, gcc and make. Other then these you can pick what you want. If you still have questions about Cygwin, post again. | | Top |

| Where can I get those three packages?
When ever I try through the regular cygwin auto-download it always says can't connect and so forht.
Can I get a link to these packages and directly download them? | | Top |

| I'd say read through what ever is on the website to Cygwin... As well as make sure you have the latest download exe straight from the site. Because it has it's own set up it installs from so don't know if it'd work to try and just download them from someplace even if you found them.
Good luck,

| Cygwin doesn't offer me any help.
Could anyone give me a direct link to these packages so I can download them or something?
I've been waiting forever and am getting no results.
Or some one e-mail them to me or perhaps upload them onto their webpage for download? | | Top |

| There was a step-by-step walkthough for downloading and getting Cygwin setup but I can't seem to find it on cygwin.com. It helped me out when I first got it. I'll try to walk you through it....
Ok, get the latest setup.exe from cygiwn.com. Make a directory called cyginstall and put it in there. Double-click the .exe to start it up (duh). Click next, select Download from Internet, next. Locale Package Directory should the \cyginstall, weither it's in C:/ or Program Files, click next. Select direct connection, next. Then just the mirror site closest to you, if not sure which one pick one at random. Then you see a screen that has 'Select Packages'. To the right side of the box will be a button with 'View' in it and Category to the right of it. Click View until Full replaces Category. Then scroll down to binutils, then under the New collum click the circle w/arrows until you see a bunch of numbers. Do the same for 'gcc' and 'make'. And of course pick any other packages you may want. Then click next and the downloading will start.
At this point you may wish to get a cup of coffee, or your drink of choice, and wait.
After the downloading is finished. Double-click the setup.exe again. Choose Install From Local Directory this time, click next. Make sure the root directory is something like C:\cygwin. For the two other choices choose Just Me and Unix, click next. Then for the Local Package Directory put in the path to the cyginstall directory you made earlier, click next and the final installation should start.
If you need any other help then this try posting here again and I'll see what I can do. Hope this helps. | | Top |
