for consistency install it in C:\cygwin and set folder for packages: C:\cygwin_packages
nw you have cygwin on your computer, use setup.exe (on desktop) to install additional cygwin components; if setup.exe is not on your desktop, go to the same process as when you were installing cygwin to install components
what you need to install is:
gcc c++ compiler
make
automake
gdb debugger
that's it for the beginning
