Hi,
you're using the wrong list. Send your questions to cygwin@cygwin.com
(CC and Reply-To activated).
To use the CygWin distribution download the setup utility from
http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe, and follow the instructions on the web
pages and the setup application itself.
BEWARE: The development environment is not installed using the default
install. Select the compiler and tools you need from the corresponding
setup categories!!
Good luck,
Johan Bezem
