hmm ok here i m to give u a small syntax tutorial!


just log on to cygwin shell! and go to the directory, that u have .c files in.
just use the following command to compile it.

#gcc file.c -o file
and it will compile the file to "file.exe" ;)

gcc  file1.c file2.c file3.c -o iroffer.exe

what if you want to compile something like say... iroffer which has multiple .c files? How would you make all of those into 1 exe?

I think what u are talking about is the 'make file' command where u complie multiple .c files which belong to the same program. What it does is makes use of the timestamp to check whether the file was modified ... if yes, then it compiles that file with the rest, otherwise it makes use of a previously compiled file. The thing is ... I can't seem to be able to recall the syntax for this command .... :huh:
Will find out and let u know ...

I googled for the make file tutorial and found this:

1. http://mrbook.org/tutorials/make/
2. http://www.contrib.a...2/Makefile.html

Hope it helps

i'm having some troubles using cygwin.. first i moved the desired .c file to cygwin directory, then i executed the command: #g++ myfile.cc -o myProg

but it doesn't create anything, neither displays any error

anyone knows what i'm doing wrong ?

thanks

g++ is for c++
gcc is for c..
have u installed the gcc package or g++ @ cygwin??
what the msg you get after running command?

Dose cygwin has a GUI compiler  for C?

no, but why would you need one? typing gcc file -o file.exe is simpler then opening a gui program creating a 'project' and so on. I believe cygwin does come with emacs however, which will color code your files.
