I am following this :
Step 2: Installing Cygwin
Cygwin can be downloaded from http://www.cygwin.com
Run the setup file.
Install from internet. Specify C:\cygwin as the root directory.
In the Select Packages dialog box, select the packages required. gcc-core, gcc-g++, gdb, and make packages are most important. These are the C core, C++ core, the GNU Debugger and the GNU version of ‘make’ utility. These packages will be under the ‘Devel’ category.
Complete the installation.
Step 3: Testing Cygwin
To test whether Cygwin was installed properly, try the following by opening the bash shell:
cygcheck -c cygwin
gcc --version
g++ --version
make --version
gdb --version
If the version details are displayed for all these commands, the installation of Cygwin has been successful.
I got this from here
But the result I get is:
What is wrong or missing with my installation.
Follow up question:
I wanted to use the terminal window in netbeans that is why I installed this.
In this terminal widnow I also have problem. I cant type anything on it. Is this the reason for it?
Try to run /usr/bin/g++. If it is not found, then you don't have g++ installed (installation may have had problems).
You can follow the same procedure for the rest of your commands
If /usr/bin/g++ runs successfully, it means you don't have /usr/bin in your PATH (which is very unlikely). You can put that in your PATH in your startup file.

I'm using windows sub-system for linux, installed ubuntu, and bash is running smoothly.
I'm trying to use make, and it seems that bash doesn't recognize gcc. Tried adding it to PATH, but nothing changed. The weird thing is - cmd does recognize gcc.
Do I need to install it again?
Have you tried to install gcc to the Ubuntu Sybsystem for Windows?
sudo apt install gcc
I have tried to get vala working on Windows and it does not work, I have followed the steps on the website:
I downloaded and installed msys2
Then I ran
pacman -Syu
pacman -Su
Then I ran the command on the vala website
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-vala
Then I tried to run valac and it says command not found.
Am I missing something? I tried just vala but that does not work, I tried to run the command again and it said that it was already installed and up to date.
You probably did not start "mingw64.exe" (The msys2 subsystem for mingw64-x86_64).
There are three distinct subsystems in msys2 (each also has its own pacman package repository):
msys2
mingw32
mingw64
You can launch a shell for any of them. The current best solution is to use the included launchers (msys2.exe, mingw32.exe and mingw64.exe).
See here for more documentation:

I have build a website with Erlang and Cowboy with ErlyDTL on a Linux OS.
Now I want that my website can run on Windows and want to use the Erlang.mk with Relx build tool.
When I give the make command it gives me the error:
Unable to detect platform. Please open a ticket with the output of
uname -a.
uname -a output:
MINGW32_NT-6.2 LENOVO-... 2012-11-21 22:34 i686 Msys
How can I fix this problem in a easy way with explanation because I don't know much of makefiles ;).
Specs:
I have Windows 8.1 64 bit OS.
My Erlang.mk is version 1.2.0-634-g2f69190.
I installed MinGW with msys so I can run make and make distclean.
I have the following extra packages installed during this intallation:
mingw-developer-toolkit
mingw32-base
mingw32-gcc-g++
msys-base
So the PATH to MinGW is c:\MinGW.
With CMD I started C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat
Then with the bash shell I ran de postinstall script pi.sh. This gave me no errors.
Then I have installed some extra packages for MinGW with success:
mingw-get install msys-rxvt
mingw-get install msys-unzip
mingw-get install msys-zip
mingw-get install msys-wget
I have red https://github.com/ninenines/erlang.mk/issues/294 but I couldn't understand what I have to do because the lack of explanation.
So is there a solution? If yes what is it and please give some explanation with it so I can fix my problem and understand what I'm doing.
Thanks in advance
As part of a long, sordid story whose end goal is simply to get GMP installed for use with code::blocks in Windows, I am trying to configure gmp. I do this with the following command:
./configure --prefix=${gmp_install}
Everything starts out well enough. After a few minutes and a bit of progress, everything grinds to a halt and I get this message:
configure: error: No usable M4 in $PATH or /usr5bin
I don't even know what M4 is, but I discover that it is some sort of macro processor. So I download it, and add the folder to my Path variable. Then I start the configure again, but same result.
Is there something that I need to do to M4 to get it working? I'm truly at a loss. Thanks for your help.
If you're using debian based OS, do sudo apt-get install m4. If internet isn't there or you have just the package of m4, copy it in /opt, configure it and later on change the $PATH value to the one you have now.
If you are using cygwin, the setup installer has a working package of m4. Then there's no need to download m4 or change $PATH.
I came up with your same problem, I solved it by running the Mingw package installer, and search for msys-m4 in the list, select all and then Apply Changes, it should let you ./configure just fine :)
Assuming you are on MSYS2 (You seem to have a sh), you can install m4 via pacman -S m4.
Be careful that if you run configure through a shell, that you don't pick WSL's bash accidentally (which is in %System32%/bash.exe). Which is what happened in our build system...
I am trying to install gcc 4.6 (mainly for having C++0x better supported) in my ubuntu 9.10 (via virtualbox). I referred to previous questions, but I am getting a different error.
I am referring this link for the installation. Now, I have done till the ./gcc-xx/configure ... step. Though it was giving some flex package related error. Mostly due to that make is also failing with below errors:
build/gengtype.o: In function
adjust_field_rtx_def':
/home/milind/ubuntu_shared/GCC/build/gcc/../../gcc-4.6-20110610/gcc/gengtype.c:978:
undefined reference tolexer_line'
/home/milind/ubuntu_shared/GCC/build/gcc/../../gcc-4.6-20110610/gcc/gengtype.c:1032:
undefined reference to lexer_line'
/home/milind/ubuntu_shared/GCC/build/gcc/../../gcc-4.6-20110610/gcc/gengtype.c:1042:
undefined reference tolexer_line' ...............
Now this is giving me a hard time figuring it out because I have already flex/bison latest versions installed. I searched over internet for 2 days almost but no luck. Any help would be really appreciated. Also note that, I already have gcc 4.4 installed in /usr/bin/gcc and I have unzipped the gcc 4.6 tar in my home directory local folder.
[Note: I am also ok with installing ubuntu 11.10 too (which has gcc 4.6) as last resort. But I don't know if its .iso image is available.]
I got this fixed. I followed following procedure:
[Note: run all the commands with sudo, if you are not login as root. e.g. sudo ls -ltr; sudo make install;
As mentioned in the link in my
question, download the gcc4.6...tar
file in a temporary place
Now find the place where current
gcc is stored. e.g. My earlier
gcc4.4 was stored in
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu. Which
has a folder called 4.4, 4.4.1
Create a folder named 4.6 (or
4.6.1/2/3 etc.) and put that
.tar file inside it. Untar the
file as shown in link.
Follow all the procedure as per the
link. Use nohup <command> & to
track the logs. i.e. nohup make
clean all & followed by tail -f
nohup.out
If some error comes, it means some
package is missing. Mostly those
package will be present in your
current gcc version. You can
install them there itself. For
example, in my case zlib was
missing. I ran sudo apt-get install
zlib1g-dev libssl-dev and it worked
fine. Otherwise download from internet and install it.
Once your gcc is installed, you
can simply check it using type
gcc-4.6. In my case it showed that
it's stored as
/usr/local/bin/g++-4.6.
Either you can use the same path to
compile or you can put an alias in
your bash/tcsh/ksh. e.g.
/usr/local/bin/g++-4.6 -std=c++0x
-Wall test.cpp
FWIW Debian testing and unstable have gcc-4.6 as a standard package. So you can simply install that distro inside of virtualbox or, as I've done on my Ubuntu 11.04 server at home, via kvm. In the past, I also used to use dchroot build environments.
There may also be prepackaged gcc-4.6 binaries at launchpad.
