Hi, I just need a simple c++ environment that I can use to do some of the very simple (base) c++ things, File I/O, cout & cin, possibly sockets. Which packages will I need for this, and what is the process for installing them? Currently I have a gcc.exe but when i run gcc in the MSYS environment, I get gcc.exe: no input files Also, the only make utility I seem to have is the one that comes with MSYS. Is MingW what I need? Cygwin seems far too big for my purposes. Thanks Michael Ribbons |

If you downloaded Mingw, as it seems, you have all what you need. 'gcc' is a command-line compiler, not an IDE. There are several IDEs for Mingw on the Net: Visual-Mingw, Dev-C++, ...

This is a command-line compiler. Consult the manual at http://gcc.gnu.org/ |

In that case you installed GCC into the MSYS directory, which is not allowed.
