Hello: My name is Brandon Butler, and I just downloaded and installed cygwin on Windows ME for the first time. However, I can't even make it read the simple program "Hello.c" (a sample program just to test it out). On a friend's computer, (assuming you're already in the right directory) I would type:
gcc hello.c On my version, "gcc" was an unknown command, so I did: bash hello.c The error read: "syntax error at unexpected token <" This very program worked on another computer. How do I get this to work? Everywhere I find this program online it is the same. Also, the prompt is just a dollar sign, and as I saw it before, there was text above each prompt (all examples of cygwin I see online have this too). Thanks for your time, Blissfully "C" Ignorant, Brandon Butler -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
