Re: include file problems


If you use setup to install cygwin, amd run from a window opened by
cygwin.bat, you should find the main include directory mounted also at
/usr/include.  If you wish to add to your path and have it take effect
when starting cygwin, add it in cygwin.bat or the startup file for
whichever shell you are using.
