If you want Windows applications to be able to see Cygwin apps without adding explicit paths to the invocation, you'll need to add 'C:\cygwin\bin' or equivalent to your Windows PATH environment variable. You can do so using the System applet from the Control Panel. Roger Head rlincolnh at yahoo.com writes: Errr, yeah, thanks for the reply Larry, but as you see in my last para.

Matt Wozniski godlygeek at gmail.com writes: Don't have a cygwin install in front of me ATM, but - isn't g++ a cygwin symlink these days? cmd.exe can't follow those even if they're in the path, of course. ~Matt Thanks for the reply, Matt. I don't have a really good idea of how Cygwin and Windows are both supposed to be able to handle .LNKs to e.g. G++, but a dump of g++.exe.lnk shows strings for /etc/alternatives and L:\cygwin\etc\alternatives. So yes, I don't know if Windows is supposed to be able follow that, but as I said in my original post, I'm almost certain that I was able to invoke it from a CMD window. The reason that I tried that at the time was because I was using a set of pages that appeared to give me good idea of how an installation should go - remember, I don't speak unix/linux at all - and it was illustrated there. The link to installing GCC that I was looking at is http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/moac/currentstudents/peter_cock/cygwin/part2/ That was directed specifically to XP, but it was a good enough beginners guide for Win2k. I'm sure that I can come up with a hack that will let me do what I want, but I wouldn't have thought it would be necessary.

Re: Win2k Command Window Can't Execute G++
Hi Andy, I'm almost certain that I was able to invoke it from a CMD window. Afaik, gcc and g++ changed into links only recently, to help with the transition from gcc-3.4 to 4.3. There are still some remnants of AVR-GCC hanging around on my system from a few years ago. Maybe a connection there... ...somehow. I'm sure that I can come up with a hack that will let me do what I want The easiest thing to do would be to overwrite the link with the file it points to, e.g. 'cp /bin/g++-4.exe /bin/g++.exe'. You'd have to remember to do that after every gcc update though. Yeah, I'd have to automate it. I've just about given up on writing notes to myself, because when the time comes that I need them, I've forgotten that I ever wrote them in the first place! The joys of advancing years...

Win2k Command Window Can't Execute G++
Hi All, I'm a noob to Cygwin and all things non-Windows. I installed Cygwin on my Win2k system (a couple of hiccups, but nothing major), then installed the GCC. When that completed, I did g++ -v in a bash window, and got the expected response. I am *sure* (99% anyway) that I was also able to do it in a normal CMD window amd get the identical response. I then proceeded to install X-Windows with no problems, and it appears to work (i.e. can bring up calc, etc). However, if I now try to invoke g++ from a CMD window I get the usual message '... not recognized as an internal or external command ...blah blah blah'. It still works in a bash window. Am I dreaming that I was able to use it in a CMD window before installing X Windows, or has something been changed during that installation? If so, what? I have done all the above while logged on as Administrator. After the initial Cygwin installation I had to manually add \Cygwin\bin and \Cygwin\usr\bin to the PATH. That hasn't been altered. It doesn't matter what directory I am in when using the CMD window, g++ isn't recognized. I would sure appreciate some help.
